I believe that people’s thoughts, emotions and stories are being carried in their minds, and whether obvious or not so obvious, have always inspired me.
In my work, I tend to combine modern people with the African tradition and history by painting figures with the characteristic of “gazing ball” as their head, which is the main theme of my work. In History (the spheres? ) are known as “Spheres of Light”, they have healing properties and can bring good luck and prosperity.
Sometimes I paint spherical heads that depict landscapes whilst other times surreal spaces and places, mostly based on my intuition and the model’s personality In overall, the spheres convey the beauty of people’s existence that is being reflected in their heads.
