"Art is my life; through visual practice (painting), to singing and acting; my persona enables me to find new innovative ideas and bring them to life. I find inspirations from my environment, culture and also other artists, to present a creative outcome. All to which can be summed up by my personal short statement which I live my life by: “Created by The Creator to be Creative”.

I consider myself as an urban painter, particularly interested in abstract shapes, energetic colour and movement within my work. All of which denotes an abstract expressionist style of painting, a movement which I am heavily influenced by. I apply these aspects in all disciplines across my life.
Born in Birmingham, I come from a vastly diverse, multicultural city where there is a great emphasis on unity and appreciation of divergence. My experience at Lancaster University therefore has been quite unique. As a ‘city boy’ with a charismatic, ethnic background, I have been able to provide another dimension to the Fine Art course, while also embracing the close and personal aspect that the degree offers, which has really shaped my character. Through tutorials to collaborating in teams, and most importantly studio practice, I have developed my beliefs and approaches to art (and life) to formulate an energetic and colourful style of art."
