Title - A Communion of Brothers 🛑
Medium - Acrylic and Markers on Canvas
Size - 106cm x 91cm
Year - 2026
Does our society really listen to the hearts of Men? I feel No, or not so much! There’s so much pressure and less mental care, men even find it difficult to emotionally help each other but the little help they find within friends and brothers still helps to keep mental stability but trust me, as a society we can for sure do better!

Year - 2026
A Reality of Hope is a beautiful piece that highlights the financial realities encountered by the youths of the black soil, and in recent years, the pressure to do more than just a job or profession in order to have a chance at a better life has been and still remains on the high side, this has led many youths into so many different financial adventures even things some had vowed not to ever get involved with, be it legal or not generally acceptable and for instance……
The sport betting culture has been a thing in Africa for a long time now but really exploded in the 2010s and since then it’s been a fine option for many youths, according to ChatGPT, over 20% of African youths engage in sport betting on monthly basis, Does this really help their financial realities? Maybe, maybe not but it helps to keep some sort of HOPE alive!

Day 2 at the @plus234art fair, I was privileged to be amongst the exhibiting artists through the first edition to this very third one and I am so grateful for that, it’s been a wonderful platform that helps give confidence to lots of emerging artists.
Appearing there yesterday to see some of my babies (artworks) and many beautiful artworks from other amazing artists was really fulfilling and refreshing, being there yesterday also reminded me of who I am, who I’ve always wanted to be and who I’ll always be, it’s a beautiful consciousness of reality!
Big thank you to all my friends, collectors, art enthusiasts and contemporaries who came around to the fair to see my babies yesterday, I love and appreciate you all!❤️
The fear of failure is a failure in itself.

Title - Bucket of Daily Grace
Medium - Acrylic and Markers on Canvas
Size - 106cm x 91cm
Year - 2025
“Bucket of Daily Grace” reflects the quiet, often overlooked routines that sustain a home and shape the character of a community. The figures in this work carry water, an everyday task in many environments, yet one filled with profound meaning. Their movement from the tank to their homes becomes a symbol of the endurance, discipline, and responsibility that define daily living.
Through layered scribbles and expressive lines, the artwork captures both the physical weight of the buckets and the spiritual weight of duty. These strokes echo the unpredictable rhythm of life, while the figures remain steady, anchored in commitment.
This piece honors the individuals whose daily labour becomes a form of grace: the kind that cleans, nourishes, restores, and builds. It celebrates the truth that a home is not made by grand events, but by small, repeated acts of care. And in these humble routines, society itself is shaped, one bucket at a time!
