This painting is a series in progress aimed at developing a visual representation of the five-love language and awakening our consciousness on what is required to have a healthy relationship. A successful family will often make a successful nation just like a popular quote once says and I quote “Charity begins at home". Our society is made up of different families and relationships that give credence to cultural norms and traditional ethics but pay little or no attention to our emotional stability; if not properly nurtured could lead to psychological dysfunction or breakdown in cognition, emotion, and behavior at our various work stations. Having participated in a love language test from a renowned author, Dr Gary Chapman, I realized the necessity to put this knowledge into practice if I must have a successful relationship.

His artistic language is conceptual and contemporary, with a reflection of both human figures and semi-abstract forms mixed with tones of colors and scribbled patterns.

The works of Artists like Victor Ekpuk and Victor Ehikhamenor have been a major influence on his style. He mostly uses acrylic and ink on canvas and paper to achieve his work. His body of work depicts emotions, cultural values, and attitude development.
