My work combines creativity with critical thinking and finding the midway point between minimalism and elaboration. I always strive to bring out a narrative from the abstract and imagined world and merge it with the future. My figurative artwork focuses on Afrofuturism, blending depictions of my traditional rich Igbo culture with bleeding edge technology to highlight the culture in a different light. In some cases, I use symbolism to achieve clarity of content and grasp at the purity of objects in their rawest form in minimal work while my non figurative work revolves around architecture in which I amalgamate loose mark-marking with stiff geometric structures and give myself limitations drawn from human anatomy and architectural physics to work with. To further challenge my exploration, I allow for the shapes within the painting to grow on the canvas resulting in a spontaneous reshuffling of space, providing insight into the mind of an illimitable strategist. The resulting large scale paintings draw comparisons to launch codes and blue prints, giving viewers a plethora of shapes to observe. The paintings invigorate imagination while working within the constraints of one’s environment.

I chose to study Architectural design  because I have always wanted my creativity to produce something much more and I found architecture and engineering as the best forms of art making that is not only aesthetically pleasing  but also functional and serves a bigger purpose. In my work I bring diversity by not being solely devoted to either figurative or non figurative styles and I simplify forms and break down the spectrum to obtain subtle variations in brightness and contrast.

In producing my works, I am always focused on how to revisit, dissect and add on new exciting ideas which makes my work to always self-generate new concepts. In order to give my work a sense of consistency I restrict myself in the type of materials I use, and this helps in not reinventing the wheel each time I have a new work to produce. At the early stages of my work I explore and try different things until I identify what I am looking out for.
