Black Palette

Artbook of textual inspirations, anthropomorphic narratives, and illustrations - explaining each artwork.

Artwork on a much larger scale, a compilation of allegories depicting layers of colours amalgamated into tangible forms and unsearchable riches rendered scenes with operatic drama, capturing moments when the natural order changes, a conversation about what is true-self, what is self-concept, self-value, self-love, self-esteem precolonial and its denouement—producing epic compositions destined to please the eyes.

Each of the artworks is influenced by commonsensical study and the questions of the human heart. These questions summarize the true essence of the human struggle and our expedition for meaning. All human behaviour is motivated by these five questions and they control everything we do. "All our social, economic, spiritual, and relational activities spring from seeking answers to these questions. Personal fulfillment and meaning in life cannot occur until these questions are answered satisfactorily. These questions address the five most important discoveries in the human experience: identity, heritage, purpose, potential, and destiny. They are the heart of the leadership struggle, and when answered, they give birth to authentic (true) leadership."
- Who am I?
- Where am I from?
- Why am I here?
- What am I capable of doing?
- Where am I going?

All the motifs and details are hand-drawn, painted, and digitalised, then transferred into colours to give them forms and life. The embodiment of the project is meticulously designed for each artwork to stand alone and converse with its viewers.
