Ekweozor Nonso
``In space of the past and present, I have questioned the undeniable fact of spirituality in which our celestial put us in, the question in which we ask every second, with fallacies and assumed answers fall short the cliff. What fascinate me is that I come with preconception and openness to unseal the questions revenging our soul that haven't been brought to justice by using my medium to create a template and ground for my expressionism through the canvas.``
ARTIST BIOGRAPHY
I want the viewer to see deeply the movement of colours and design as the content and question of my painting with the ever captivating and capturing lines with Uli design and all other design embedded in my expressionism. It’s my goal in painting to document questions and fallacies that human find mysterious.
My paintings are meant to be a reflection of our daily life. I explore life circle and expressionism, we live in a world full of questions and less answers. I create a frame and argue that my expressionism image is even more representational of life because it contains the ever flaming questions and thinking boiling in their souls. I want to explore the depth and mind of the innuendo and crescendo of our soul in this expression painting. The imagery crux in my painting is portraiture also capturing and transporting the emotions of the face as an element of my expression in my painting. The beginning of spirituality ends and lies in the lightness and darkness that may diminish or increase with the display of our own temperament.
