How I miss doing some Painting

It's been such a long time since I did some piantings...these last months; I have been so much into writing that I have hadly had time to do something else.

Writing is another passion... I write a weekly column for the Rwandan Daily Newspaper www.thenewtimes.co.rw.

I have also been doing a lot of writing for my magazine www.theservicemag.com

By the way; here are some 2 paintings I lately did as gifts for some of the loyal people who have been helping us for The ServiceMag

Welcome to my blog

“Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures.” Henry Ward Beecher

I am a very passionate person especially on everything that concerns Arts.

Love paintings, photography, interior Decoration, writing, cooking, publishing, walking, swimming and so many other things.

But painting comes at the first hobby. I believe that painting is an excellent way of expression.

Born in Ghana, I grew up in Benin and have lived in Togo, Nigeria, Tchad, France, Germany and for the past 4 years in Kigali, Rwanda.

My passion for painting manifested itself 5 years ago after going through a surgeon in Dakar, Senegal.

Sensuality and manipulation of paint drives my work with lots of collage with fabrics, newspaper, plants etc...The colors I use often are very bright.

My painting identity has developed a diverse practice incorporating both portraiture and abstract work.

I love painting african scenes probably because of the numerous travellings I have been priviledged to do (28 African countries).
