Artist bio

To create from existential and non-existential thoughts, past present and future reality and from the realness of feelings is my aim as an artist. This is the foundation of my art creation. For year now curiosity and optimism had been my guide, and as the curious artist that I am, I use my art to navigate the world, this way I don’t become an intelligent artist who applies logic to everything. Instead, I let the world pass through me by experiencing it without suspicion. I have a responsibility to uphold as an artist and an activist, which is to be the best of myself, to discover the value and the power of my inherent gift and to become a leader in my generation by serving that gift to the world at large. I love to dare with my camera, to create something new from the original experimenting with different elements, to find meaning, especially in the complexity of reality. I approach my works with different style, in other to achieve something new that can start new conversation. Photography It’s an art that appreciates other art, life and beyond. My works is a fusion documentary, conceptual, abstract photography, film which is sometime achieved through documentary, installation and performance.

Artist Statement

How interesting can life be without curiosity? And how can we live without optimism? like air feeds on fire. Curiosity fuel optimism in us, it makes us look forward to hope and believe that there is more to life. Optimism becomes our strength; it braces us up for each day and prepares us for what might come. Creation of this work was like an adventure that ends in wonder, the idea of more leaves me unrest, like a troubled mind looking for something, you don’t know but you keep looking. With a sense of hope and obeying your instinct at every juncture, not because you want to prove something but because you want to know something and feel different.

How it fits into contest

This conceptual work is about how we try to push forward everyday through our curious mind which was given to us by God and our optimism which is our amour also given to us by God so may withstand the spiritual battles of our days on earth. The character had decided to move one despite being in the middle of the large water that can drown him because he know is wrestling not again the flesh and blood. He held on to his umbrella so firm as his amour for stability as he move towards the canoe to take refuge
