He has participated in art exhibitions primarily in Nigeria, west Africa, and many countries. “Creating is an amazing process. Most of the time I enjoy trying new things. I really like the brush strokes of the impressionists, the flow of their movements, foundry colors, expressions and different grayscales as well as their engagement in my paintings . This gave birth to my style. I see life as a passion of sticking to what we like and the endless battles of everything else that we abhor. Art is one of the open ways of talking to people in a visual way of imaginations. The Expressions, emotions, feelings and all the untold stories behind these makes people feel connected.”
