My  artworks are influenced by contemporary global challenges, and by violation of human dignity, particularly in  Africa. These works, particularly in oils, carry a fluid, slightly recognizable  and recurring patterns that are considered abstracted derivatives of reality.  Often, these patterns are seen to  self-generate and morph onto more recognizably realistic forms. My art works  draw from the needs of contemporary society. Though sometimes I am not able to always achieve this, I shun overt abstractions and pure realism and embrace elements from both genres to enhance comprehension. I work mainly in oil colors because it is ductile, slow drying, and has the widest range of hues when compared to other mediums.   There are three themes into which my works  are spread.  I   contemplate critical problems in the first two themes, and ultimately attempt to resolve them in the third theme. While these three themes are easily  seen to overlap in some instances, I make constant efforts at creating distinct lines between them.  In order to make my works be overtly understood, I have too many times run into problems  with the law, and  with people against whom my works are directed through oral communicative means. While my art remains art, it is for me a medium through which I am eminently empowered to vocalize the fears and pains inflicted on man by man.
