My work is only inspired by local scenes from Soweto, South Africa, which has a rich history of migrant labour. I use a lot of colour because I believe colour is like a spice of life.

The jazz series is a tribute to Sophia town kofifi jazz era of the 1950s in apartheid era.

Sophia town was unique. You had all races living together which the segregation government did not like.

It was demolished in 1955 and black people were moved to the ghetto of Soweto, it's a tribute to the birth of south African jazz, the kofifi pioneers

I have traveled the world to find the most unique, the most eclectic art. Because I believe that art is the most universal language that we understand so well intuitively. Art breaks boundaries. Art expands horizons. It makes us curious. It brings up emotions long forgotten. It gives us infinite joy.

I hope you will find something you will love on my website. And it will enrich your life.
