2023 At SAnkofa Studios

Since the start of this year, I have been pushing my creative output boundaries to explore abstraction and the potential of oil painting. I have been experimenting with techniques to create bold, vibrant, and captivating abstract works. I have been pushing the limits of my understanding of oil painting, color theory, and composition to create engaging works. I have also played with texture and layering to create captivating, immersive pieces. In addition to exploring abstraction, I have also been exploring the role of art in society and what it means to be an artist. I have been reading, learning, and reflecting on the importance of art in our culture and its potential to create dialogues and discussions about our collective experiences and histories. I have been exploring how art can impact the cognitive and emotional state and how it can lead to conversations about culture, history, and mathematics. By pushing the boundaries of my creative output, I am attempting to create art that speaks to my own experiences and the collective experiences of others. I am exploring the potential of art to create meaningful conversations, educate, and express the depths of our human experiences. I am also attempting to use art as a vehicle to learn and teach about our collective histories
