Power Within - Oil on Canvas
Scrutiny -oil and pastel on canvas

Vandalism of traditional rock art has revealed that much of our African culture is disappearing; depriving our generation of the opportunity to communicate through ancestral messages, secret codes and symbolic rituals.

My recent work has come out a trend that I call Schematic Tantrums, a purely abstract and symbolic way of painting inspired as a continuation of traditional rock art. The Bag Factory residence has been the best platform for nurturing my prolific style and helping to translate my inspiration into a body of work.
