African art is one of the most diverse
on earth. The continent is full of
civilizations, each with a particular
vision of culture.

I chose this topic because African art is
often reduced to the traditional art such

this art is very diverse. This research
helped me discover digital and
contemporary African art.

Extract : « My art addresses my internal tension between my deep
love for Nigeria, my country of birth, and my strong appreciation for
Western culture…The work deals with various themes but the
overarching thread is that I’m availing myself of Western painting to
seek out a new visual language. In my work disparate elements clash
together to give rise to a distinctive yet cohesive whole. »
