About The Artwork

Homage to my mother, who passed away. The painting was the coping mechanism for my healing. To lose a loved one breaks your whole world, and a mother deeply affects one's psyche. The loss and pain poured into this image, onto this canvas as a remembrance of whom she was, the optimistic woman even when it got tough. It is relieving to say her memories are there within me. These triggers, memory, or things catch you and remind you of her, which is represented as the flaming hair. The flaming hair represents the mythological bird, 'Phoenix,' that cyclically regenerates or is otherwise born again. The outcome of this painting represents my mother's lived life, layered, complex, rich, painful at some point, happy, generous, laughter, betrayal, and above all, she loved her sons.

"As a multidisciplinary artist, exploring the creative nuance form relives a sense of capture within me” SGF Artist Statement Art and creativity always mesmerized me since I was young, the infinite mix and variations. I have not been courageous to pursue this vocation wholeheartedly. Now I am stepping into the other side of the glass as an artist. I live in London and received my Master’s in Design and Media Arts from the University of Westminster. I am a self-taught emerging multidisciplinary artist. My artistic preference is in photography, painting, video, moving images and dance on screen. All these are interwoven to explore the visual gesture and the narrative possibilities presented in a type of “galleria and creative nuance”. My earlier works are dance on-screen artist films, employing movement and dance, moving imagery as the protagonist. This correlates to space and presentation, defining the spatial boundaries with the fugitive body in a gesture which would relate well to the act of participating in spatial dance scenography. I started as a dancer but have always been fascinated with the dialogue between the visual nuance and the elusive pronounce in the artistic form. My videos have been screened and exhibited both nationally and on international platforms. My African identity and childhood memories stimulate my creative space. I draw influence from different artistic media and artists like Ben Enwonwu, Isaac Julien, Roy Lichtenstein, Basquiat, Keith Haring, Damien Hirst, Joan Miro, Young-Deok Seo etc. My art concentrates on the process with the visual narrative nuance by employing the available medium as a vessel to convey my story for each art piece.
