“My work examines, scrutinizes, and interrogates fundamental personal, social, cultural, and political issues with the intention to shape society.
I am very interested in engaging my viewers in deep conversations, because that’s what art is all about, to get someone to stop for a really long time.
My work depicts my own life experiences, those of my family and community in a subtle way. Art is my therapy, it’s the only way I can genuinely express myself, for me the essence of life is found in my artistry.
When a concept comes into my mind I would write it down and create an imaginative painting in my mind, let it marinate for some time, when it is fully formed I start painting. My paintings take time to finish.”
