For me, art is first and foremost cathartic. It is a way for me to translate my emotions into a visual form. Events from my childhood, some tragic and scarring, and some that shaped my personality to a great extent, are all conveyed in my works.Â
I visualize an image in my mind, dwell over it for days or weeks, and then translate that onto my canvas. Most times other memories, incidents, or images attach themselves to my thoughts. From there, the painting evolves. I spend a lot of time on each work until I am satisfied.
