I wanted to tell stories and showcase the beauty, and perfection of God’s creation through drawings, and paintings! Art was my escape from life. Art offered me hope and a lots promise of a future filled with beautiful colors.

Spontaneous Realism and Impressionism.

Artists whose styles have influenced my work are: My Boss Abdulsalam Abdulkareem, and Voka.

Kuti Idris: "Gaze" 2019

My work is an examination of the different forms this shield takes, and the thinking that lies behind it. There’s a kind of tension between the way it was originally designed to look and the way it looks now, as well as a tension between the way it looks to whoever is caring for it and the way it looks to me.
