I was born in 1983 in Nsaambya, a suburb in Kampala the capital of Uganda. From a tender age of about six I was so passionate about drawing, and painting,both realism and abstract.. I can’t draw a clear line when my professional career began but I can say with certainty that I sold my first paintings at the age of sixteen, i did collaborate with different Ugandan professional artists in my late teen age and what is better than earning a living by doing something you love, this motivated me to build my career.

But as far as inspiration is concerned , my work is a reflection of the world through my eyes ,a synthesis of personal feelings fuelled by personal perception which bares my hunger for knowledge or better understanding of the ambiguity of some circumstance in life..

The ideas “paintings” are inspired by events that unfold as a result of daily human relations and interaction, in the world around me, and the un paragon able beauty of nature and wild life.

 

Basically my paintings have two major trends that is the resolved state of mind and the un resolved state of mind and Originating from an African heritage, African culture Is always my point of reference and a constant source of inspiration, even thought the subject matter blends cultures world over as I lived my teenage life and part of my adult life in Uganda and my present adult life in Europe ,mainly Italy and UK.

My paintings are basically a mix of oils and acrylics, painted on canvas and back cloth. They virtually explore my state of mind in the process of me literally negotiating interaction with the world around me.
