"My works are an expression of surrealist fantasies, in a style that flicks between futuristic and traditional art aesthetics, intertwining elements of Criminology, History, Afro Futurism, Surrealism, Film Noir and Pop Art into a melting pot of bold, graphic, visceral hard-hitting modern art that is becoming increasingly sought after by art collectors worldwide."
