I spent a month in Zambia for an art residency program where I researched about the lost identity of the 73 tribes in Zambia in relation to the future ahead of us. We need to know and appreciate our identity as Africans so we don’t lose it completely to time. – at Lusaka, Zambia

Looking at the finished setup, I can’t lie—this feels emotional. Nutopia isn’t just another exhibition for me; it’s the first step in a journey I’ve been dreaming about for so long. My 6th solo show, but in many ways, it feels like the first.

Gilded identity
Oil on canvas
A story of a black man adorned with a resplendent golden mask, blending the aesthetics of both futuristic technology and the traditional Idia mask. It captures the essence of cultural heritage, modernity, and the complex layers of identity. – at Federal Capital Territory, Nigeria

I had an amazing time at the Victoria and Albert Museum London. The museum truly showcases the diverse and vibrant cultures of the most continents, and I highly recommend a visit for anyone interested in art and history. #VAMuseum #AfricanArt #London

More is given to you because you can handle it, and you handled the ones you had before very profitably.
