Artist Statement

My work explores the intersection of past and present, blending the aesthetics of vintage comics and timeless styled paintings with the vibrant diversity of Black culture today. Through vivid portraits and nostalgic scenes, I challenge conventional representations of Black individuals, celebrating their stories and beauty in ways that feel authentic and empowering. The vintage comic themes in my work offer a sense of familiarity and comfort, evoking a feeling of nostalgia and simplicity, reminding us of what we once knew. My goal is to create art that not only looks back but also pushes forward, offering a visual narrative that is timeless, relatable, and undeniably bold.
