I paint what the ground remembers.

AFRO DISAPORA EXXPRESSIONIST

I do not simply make paintings.
I bear cultural witness.

 

“For over five decades, I have created paintings rooted in memory, migration, and cultural witness…”
 

My work lives at the intersection of memory, migration, and endurance.

Each painting is a living archive.
Each surface holds what remains.

The paintings:

Each work is a witness statement — rooted in Jazz, Bamboula, and the memory of Afro-Atlantic peoples. Figures that are faceless but never voiceless.

The Vision Behind the Work

 

I channel the rhythms of the Diaspora, painting stories that pulse with history and humanity. Each piece is an exploration of memory, forging connections between the past and the present.
