Biro Sketch of African Concept in Motifs,Symbols,Patterns and Designs

As the concept hits the mind sketch it out don’t wait for long, it might disappear like the wind. Put it down as it is fresh,whether it make sense or not just put it down, a time will come when you will make good use of it.

Explore the mind, tap into the Subconsciousness. The mind is like an elastic being, it can expound to any extend you want it to, there is no limit. i see concept or idea as an unborn child, give birth to it, nurture and nourish it to adult hood.

Pay less attention to critics, obstacles mistakes and failures, they structure your concept to grow like a perfect being. Don’t give up keep doing your thing, you are almost there just a little push.

An African Colourful Still Life Painting.

This art piece is titled- The Wine Bottle,Flowers and Apple. Medium- Acrylic,Newspaper,Canvas. Year-2012.

An artist spend donkey years trying to define his/herself or search for his/her own style or techniques. A style that would express the unique mind of the artist in toto. When i created this art piece i felt like am getting closer to what i really want to express as my style. But am still working to unlock what i think and feel about art.

As an Artist i have always imagine or picture my art as a work to be full with freedom, complexity/deep but simple, colourful, with a dramatic effect and a strong message. I am still experimenting to achieve all this qualities.

Children at work,Designing with Colourful Papers in a Drawing Book.

These are photo shoots of one of the Paper Collage Practical Class i had with my students some months ago. They are First Grade Junior Secondary School Students expressing their creative ability in their drawing book using Colourful Papers to Create a Leaf Pattern or Design.

I call this- Children at Work, because when i look at them during their practical class i laugh inside of me, most of them are so serious with their work as if it is a life project. And all they need to hear is encouraging and motivational words to keep them working.

Working with children can be very entertaining and interesting because it is an opportunity to feel and experience the Beautiful and Natural Pure Mind of a Child before it’s been diluted by the things of this word. I also enjoy their mischievous and funny ways. Hmm, before i forget working with these little ones can also be very challenging and energy taking. However, it’s still fun.

A Beautiful and Memorable Gouache(Poster Colour) Landscape Painting.

Title: The Rocks Landscape Composition. Medium: Poster Colour(Gouache) on Paper Board. Dimension: 55cm/43cm. Year: 2012.

Most of my subsequent landscape paintings would be subject on a Rocky Natural Landscape. Some month ago i was invited to a marriage ceremony of a friend which was held in a small community in the far northern part of my state.

And that area is a rocky environment filled with various forms and shapes of rocks. To be sincere one of my reason for honoring the invitation was my keen interest of the landscape, in order to view and to take some photo shoot of The Beautiful Rocky Landscape Designs.

However after spending a couple of hours at the ceremony, I went around the community with the aid of a commercial bike. I was trilled by the Interesting Natural Composition of the Landscape filled with various shapes of rocks and the blending of the houses,trees,bushes,roads,roof tops with the rocks which gives The Landscape a Memorable view.

In addition, if the landscape can be personify i would have huge and kiss her because i was fun of the Natural Design of the Landscape. So I traveled back home with a double satisfaction.
