A City In A Different Light

Raised by the wolves is a piece of art that simply tells a story on the struggles of growing up and the environment in which we are raised. The wolves depict the roughness and the toughness experienced through the journey and to survive is the beauty and so is the art piece. It portrays an image of the diamond in a ruff that goes through hardships but is able to still love themselves; their body and also their soul. It shows that loyalty is everything. The title which was inspired by a song called wolves, which is done by Sean Michael Leonard Anderson; also known as Big Sean, gives more insight on the theme. I love blending my art with music, movies and photography and when I saw this picture of Polish model, Basia Szkaluba; I imagined a woman scarred but choosing to look beyond it to acknowledge her beauty. Whenever I paint a picture of a woman showing part of her skin; it portrays the vulnerability of letting go & embracing pain and joy altogether & color is the compliment.

Age Ain't Nothing but A Number

The inspiration of this piece of art came out of a realization that everything is everything. What I mean by this is that we should not always base our beliefs and values on time and age because they're ever changing; seasons come and seasons go, and we cannot always keep up with them; we age differently but how amazing it is to exist in the same time and space. Aaliyah brings that out in her song, Age ain't nothing but a number. She offers love unconditionally and confidently. I view love as something tangible; to be touched means to have felt and I believe love is a feeling; I also believe that feelings are caused by energy and energy is emotion. They say don’t trust your emotions but I think we should; I think we should seat with them; I think we should be aware of the energy around us; we should acknowledge it and face it head on; without confliction or worry about what the next person may think or say. It might be with our Moms or Dads, our friends, or our family; otherwise I feel love should be expressed freely regardless the age. Age ain’t nothing but a number; throwing down ain’t nothing but a thing; this loving I have for you, it will never change. Age ain’t nothing but a number; throwing down ain’t nothing but a thing; this loving I have for you, it will never change. - Aaliyah

This piece of art portrays the second piece in my Lusaka skyscraper art collection. I captured a photo of this building called Society business park which unlike the Findeco House building is more modern. It brings out a much new and reimagined picture of the city. Formally known as Society house, this building is pretty old at heart too; but it got renovated into what it is now and the view is not the same. The city in a different light is a title inspired by Zambian artist, LJ Mojo’s song with the same title. The reason for this title is in the appearance of the skyscraper which is so distinct from most infrastructure around it. With that beautiful reflection it gives of the city, and a sense of new hope or a new beginning. It has also become a great symbol of the city and in a more improved manner. That’s right! The city in a different light; a new height; never afraid because we move by faith and not by sight; we just might be real while we take flight and stay above like a kite. I saw the city in a different light and I was never the same. - LJ Mojo
