I am a multidisciplinary artist working primarily with acrylic on canvas. In recent years, I have been experimenting with new mediums and evolving my visual style. My work is largely informed by my experiences living abroad and navigating social anxiety. This influence is reflected in the recurring use of exaggerated eyes, which serve as a way to explore overthinking, heightened awareness, and the unspoken thoughts people carry.

Colour plays an important role in my practice. Yellow appears frequently in my work, inspired by everyday life in Lagos-particularly the danfo buses, with their distinct yellow and black palette. These colours have become central to a character I created, which functions as a visual anchor throughout my work.

Having grown up immersed in cartoons and illustration, I naturally gravitated toward these forms as a way to tell stories. They provide a familiar and accessible language through which I share personal experiences and observations..

THE ARTWORK
Caught in Broad Daylight
Caught in Broad Daylight
Caught in Broad Daylight was painted while I was living in Nairobi. It comes from a personal moment being seen by a close friend while doing something I shouldn’t have been doing.
We all make mistakes. But being caught is different. It’s not just fear of consequence; it’s the instant you realize trust is at risk. That brief, unforgiving clarity when there’s nowhere to hide, no version of the story that saves you.
The painting sits in that moment. Not before the mistake, not after forgiveness just the exposure. The light is harsh, the timing unlucky, and the damage already done.

This painting grew out of a larger obsession: a series of 1,000 near-identical works intended to live together in a single room. Repetition as pressure. Familiarity as discomfort.
It’s about anxiety the low hum of uneasiness we all carry, and the sharper moments when it spikes. The feeling that the room is watching you. That you’ve been seen, paused, exposed. I know that feeling well.
The image comes from an old painting hanging in a friend’s living room used with permission reframed here to hold one suspended second of panic. A frozen moment where nothing dramatic happens, yet everything feels on edge.
In that way, the work mirrors the name PANIC FREEZER: that instant when panic hits and the body stalls. You stop mid-thought, mid-sentence, unsure what comes next. Not chaos just stillness, thick with awareness.
