Biography
Though I pursue my artistic career in Italy, I was born in Kenya, and in my artistic journey, I have delved into the intricate tapestry of social contexts. Using painting as my medium, I have been able to unravel the complexities that often evade easy comprehension. Amidst the harsh realities that surround us, I employ my skills not merely to depict, but to distill these truths into a form that can be embraced with a profound resonance.
For me, art transcends the ordinary narratives; it is a potent tool, capable of conveying stories beyond the commonplace. I am captivated by the essence of our humanity, entwined with the labyrinth of our psyches shaped by surroundings, communities, thoughts, and memories. My identity is a testament to the multifaceted result of the environments that mold me. Every experience, every observation, becomes the raw material influencing my creative ability.
Like anyone else, I grapple with the challenge of gathering ideas, especially in moments when life's chaotic dance seems devoid of meaning. Yet, it is in these very moments that I find purpose. Through the medium of paint on burnt wood or canvas, I aspire to bring forth a clarity that transcends the chaos.
When the lives and struggles of others stir a profound chord within me, it becomes my mission to translate that emotion onto my canvas. Each theme I explore weaves itself into the fabric of my being, allowing me to not only see but feel what my subjects have experienced. I am relentless in my pursuit to make those emotions visible, to immortalize the silent narratives that demand to be heard.
The realm of art remains an enigma, a vast expanse I navigate with a thirst for discovery. My ambition is to defy the conventional rules of perception, to use my artistic voice as a catalyst for the unspoken narratives that linger in the shadows. Through my work, I endeavor to be a storyteller, weaving tales that echo the unsaid, challenging the world to see and feel beyond the surface.
