About the Item
A portrait can tell a story, my artistic pieces highlight the exploration of the complexity of human identity, space and existence. My imagery embodies the unconventional expression of forms around African beauty, struggles and existence. Each paintings have a curative effect that helps examine surreal moments and effects with each visual form aiming to create a dream-like and sublime escapes, not only as a form of self-therapy but also as a visual manifestation of innermost hopes and freedom from wild experiences.
My artistic piece feeds on the storyline of the perfect and imperfection of black beauty; my exploration immerses itself in the poetic form and beauty around poetic symbolism- exploring the storyline around the hope and struggles of human emotions
