BIO

I am a Nigerian-born, American-trained Artist, currently residing in the United Kingdom as an artist with a creative and unique personal style.
The theme of my works, in general, is "The Facts of Life: Roses and Thorns." Life is roses and thorns; sometimes it emanates the sweet aroma of pleasantness and sometimes it pricks and causes pains. I often use Roses and Thorns for portrait paintings of the facts of life of people. I first used Roses and Thorns in my political painting �THE BLEEDING ROSES.� Since then I have adopted this floral iconography style - Roses and Thorns as my own unique style in some of my paintings like �DOMESTIC ABUSE�, MY MOTHER, Her Majesty Platinum Jubilee to name a few. Roses are for achievements and other positive parts of life and Thorns are painful challenges and negative parts of life.
