respect to my drawings , when i look at an object or my subject all i see is
movement which represent forms and the only way to represent those forms are in
variety of rhythmic lines and movement with ferocious intensity which could be
translated into music of any genre. I also enjoy painting as much as i enjoy
drawing as i explore surreal and conceptual juxtaposed human forms on canvas
along the with my love for scapes that invoke glamour and is been interpreted
with powerful hues. I am been inspired by every creative person i cross
particular s with as i get ideas from the most uncommon places and scenarios."

He is so passionate in helping to build the Nigeria art industry to greater heights through which the society can be developed economically, socially, and even politically.
"When it comes to what i have to offer and my contribution
to the society, I'll use my art as the communication tool to inject positivity
into this ill-fated society. I am currently working on a couple of ideas for a
possible solo show in 2016 by the grace of God, Drawing and paintings alike and
these works would apart from their aesthetical values point out the
socio-cultural fails and ills while introducing a sense of direction
accompanied with hope and love. So there is always a light at the end of
every tunnel."
