Welcome to My World of Colours and Contemplation

Some journeys begin in bustling cities or academic halls. Mine began under the open skies of rural Africa, where I herded cattle as a young boy, absorbing the rhythms of nature and the silent poetry of dusk and dawn. Decades later, after a life woven with experiences across Nigeria and the UK, I found myself picking up a brush—driven not by ambition, but by a spontaneous need to express what words could no longer contain.

I began painting at 70. What started as a quiet experiment has blossomed into a deeply fulfilling artistic adventure. My work—often abstract, sometimes impressionist—reflects not only the landscapes I’ve known but also the shifting states of memory, emotion, and time. Sunset scenes, open skies, forgotten paths, and the contrast between rural stillness and urban complexity all find a voice in my art.

Through this blog, I invite you into that world. Here, I’ll share the stories behind my paintings, the moments that sparked their creation, and the ever-unfolding discovery of what it means to create freely, later in life. It is my hope that in these colours, forms, and reflections, you find something that stirs your own imagination—and perhaps reminds you that it’s never too late to begin.
