That is a result of surrounding factors in the world, is a result of politics, of wars and all sorts.

It did not stop me from wanting to explore painting, sculpture, personality, humanity, because those are the core theme of who I am underneath.

So I will always find a way of presenting this work in whatever way I can.

A debut show at the ripe old age of 38 years old, having not decided to put on any exhibitions in white box galleries in West London or East London or wherever.

But it wasn't something I was looking for.

It just happened this way.

I mentioned Talented earlier.

It's a result of a lot of hard work.

It's not born from nothing.

It comes from working extremely hard.

and presenting the work after many years of developing it.

That's what I call talent.

It's hard work.

The pursuit of the next, yeah.

I would like to talk about, real quick, you mentioned about questioning oneself and imposter syndrome, right?

It robs you of being in the present.

It robs you of being in the now, asking, am I doing the right thing?

Just be.

Another thing I've been doing is following the fun, which is it, which helps you be in the present, right?

I've done these paintings now for quite a while.
