Artist | Designer | World-Builder | Afrofuturism Artist
I am a artist based in Montreal and also Tattoo artist with a interior design background, product design and illustrator. Creating a visual language for a future unbound by ethnicity or time.
My purpose isn't to be seen, but to see clearly and document the journey. This art is my evidence.
Exploring humanity through painting, sculpture, and poetry. Creating a fantasy world where boundaries between cultures blur and merge, my approach to Afrofuturism extends beyond the confines of Afrocentrism. Rather than focusing exclusively on African culture, I seek to integrate the richness of my background and global traditions, crafting a mosaic of interconnected histories, identities, and futures. My art reflects a fusion of diverse elements—from the intricate patterns, from traditional textiles of different civilizations, all touched by the depth and vibrancy of African influence.

This blending of cultures allows me to explore alternatives futures where humanity thrives through shared knowledge and mutual respect, unified in diversity. The African touch serves as the thread connecting disparate cultural expressions, offering a grounded perspective on what the future might hold if we embrace global unity while respecting individual cultural identities.

Incorporating influences from across the world while maintaining a distinctly African undertone, my art becomes a statement of what the future could look like. Where no single culture dominates, but all are celebrated in a symphony of innovation, tradition, and identity.
