Frequently Asked Questions

Why do you make your art?

I love telling stories. Art is one of the best ways to tell a meaningful story. A lot of people are visual, especially in the times we’re in. Art on a canvas or in a .jpeg can convey so much meaning, change perceptions and inspire. When I make art, I try to cover a wide range of meaningful subjects. My most common subjects are depression, death, drugs, love, rage and my experience as a young Nigerian.
