I am a multidisciplinary artists and project engineer from Norfolk, VA. As the son of Congolese immigrants, my work is often a reflection of both African and Black American cultures that helped shape my identity.
I’m drawn to capturing movement and energy in my work, often using exaggerated perspectives and shapes to realize that feeling. Outside of visual art, I enjoy painting pictures in my poetry and make music in my spare time.
