Artist Statement

My work is driven via the notion that our ancestors have helped us live our future now. Pulling from ancient unexplainable phenomena for inspiration, such as the Egyptian pyramids and astrology have inspired me to create something abstract and mysterious. I have embraced the energy of music, mystery, and my ancestors to guide me through a colorful and complex journey of metaphysics. This has been instrumental for the understanding of the invisible nature of life to transcend into a physical thing I can create. ART; under the veil of Abstraction and the pioneering aspects of Afro Futurism.
