About the Item
Sisterhood - an allegory of a supportive system. This piece is the representation of the bond between the female kinship captured with the essence of trust, support, mutual serenity, and timeless sanctuary in the female world. Each figure's expression drives an intimacy even in silence, an interconnected aura symbolizing rich and collective growth and healing. Sisterhood was an inspiration that came from the transformative potential of women in my society, a captivating blend of imagery and symbolism of the feminine energy that each woman that surrounds me begets. The painting was made to subject my audience to see women as a pillar that is endowed with beauty, strength, empathy and unwavering support in a world full of adverse.

Artist Statement
The ideas, issues and events arising from man's quest to contain and contend with these forces form the subject of my paintings. Given this background, my paintings are subtle but much defined with interlocking and wedges of colour combined like a mosaic to produce a solid, architectural structure, enhanced by the textured surface of the paint with women accorded with prominent attention, focus and more emphasis in my composition.
Women live in a male-dominated society, based on local cultural traditions with few rights and are at the receiving end of men's activities and yet strive to eke out and sustain living.
I celebrate them by weaving my composition around them during their hours of need, joy, pain, and other human activities.
