Art from My Poetic Palmistry
These works were originally presented in My Poetic Palmistry, a collection of non-fiction poems by Aluu Prosper.
I am a multidisciplinary self-taught visual artist creating drawings and works that require the fusion of 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional art forms. Usually fusing fine oil paints and sand in paintings that focus on Afrocentrism and Pan-Africanism, but also fusing metal cuts on panels, I make photo-realistic paintings on them that talk about my life story as well as utilizing poetic descriptions for them.
In the artist’s words:
I’m from Afikpo North, in Ebonyi State, Nigeria. Born on 14th August 1999 , I attended Nigerian Navy Secondary School Akpabuyo Calabar and the Federal University of Technology, Owerri. I live in Oyigbo, Rivers State, Nigeria.
