His body of work explores diverse stories of black people and experiences of those around him and personal journey of life. His work is Inspired by the Impressionism art period from the 20th Century, he researches and explores ways to capture his emotions and fuel his artworks. Inspired by profound artist such as George Pemba, Claude Monet, Gerald Sekoto and Vincent Van Gogh, my charcoal linework’s and oil paintings have become pictorial visions that has a mesmerizing effect that is inspired directly by my emotive feelings that one can immediately identify and engage with the characters portrayed in such a way one would like to know them better in person.
