“I seek to capture parts of life that can’t really be explained but are felt..”
Bemi

Artist Statement
As an artist, i have this responsibility to be honest. I have to be honest with myself, i have to be honest with my God so that i can be truthful to my canvas.
My paintings are stories existing in a state of freedom. So, by default, they are fearless. They exist as. Emotive figures act as binders in these complexly intertwined and distinct stories. These stories did not start with us, we must tell them while we are here because these stories will not end with us. Stories are powerful, they shape generations.
"Everybody drinks water." Earth without water would mean total collapse of the entire ecosystem.
The human figures i paint are often expressed in a blue green variant. I take inspiration from bodies of water, an essential part of human life. The idea is to represent human life through an element: an essential part of existence.
