Abstract Four


Advanced Cityscape,Acrylics on canvas,20" x 16".

This is the last abstract I executed in Mondrian's style.The blue background stands for the city skyline,dark blue marks for tarmacked roads.Yellow marks for lights during nighttime.The other colours and marks stand for people and buildings.

Abstract Three


Advanced village scape,Acrylics on paper,64cm x 45cm.

When I was doing this painting I was thinking about Piet Mondrian and his De Stijl movement.It's a bit Cubist in style and uses the line as a means of passing the message.
The red background stands for the rural/soil landscape.The brown marks for village homesteads.Orange Yellow marks for footpaths,thick dark blue for the tarmac road.Grey marks for shopping centers.

Abstract Two


Abstract Landscape,Acrylics on paper,64cm x 45cm.

This can be undeveloped land,full of wild vegetation and flowing streams of water.Against a backdrop of encroaching city expansion.

Abstract One


Old house,Acrylics on paper,64cm x 45cm.

This piece is of an old building left in ruins.It also shows the contrast that exists between modern day building design and the older style of designing.Like a classic building in the middle of the city.

The Rooftops


A friend of mine who works as a freelance photographer snapped this pic as he was testing his gadget.Amazingly,it caught everything nicely from a birds' eye view.

Colour Factory


Painting is like a journey of many miles where the body,mind and soul slowly merge into one whole unit.It awakes your inner being and expands your sixth sense.It's more like evolving from a low being to a more superior being.

What you didn't know


In the first posting of this site,I had mentioned my background as a matatu designer.What I forgot to inform you as the reader was that, I had designed a vehicle together with a friend which got featured in an advertisement.
My pal is known locally as Raphael but currently he specializes in writing signs.
This, to me was the pinnacle of my short career.On top, I also acquired respect from fellow designers and boosted my portfolio.
