About the Item

Love they say is unconditional, real, strong; an intense feeling or deep affection which ought to be good, expressive, long, and lasting if truly real oh how beautiful could it have felt? My works are a symphony of the love I want for myself. Growing up as a child, I had an appalling experience of love by my parents which has a later effect on my orientation for love as an individual. For my parents, their love life was almost like a nightmare, something that should have never happened like my mother would say; “I should have never married him” maybe they weren't just meant to be or they couldn't just get along well with one another. The marriage was bedlam all through and we all took our sides of their shortcomings being their offspring. My parent's marriage made me understand what it felt like to marry the right person if at all one decides to marry having said mine is just a story out of thousands of many other similar stories around the world. I tend to use colors mundane enough to represent love in my works, colors such as; Rose red, yellow, purple, and all other love-related colors. My works are more of a solace to my childhood experience of a marriage on the verge of forlorn. I, therefore, express myself through painting the opposite of the kind of love I grew up experiencing; the true meaning of love, and as it should be. The expressions of my subjects are quite docile yet compelling as to the human reaction to true love and encounters of the emotions that come after. Telling my stories through Art in this direction has helped in the gradual healing process from my childhood traumas “Therapy” and also a navigator into looking forward to the kind of life I want as an individual.
