MPO'S ART

 Today, 6th September, 2025, I started my day with a high energy - some energy pulsating and coursing through me had some divine fraternity with my thought process and it birthed something sort of unusual.  Emmanuel Okolieze says I’m into surrealism now, Liz really commends my work, Akin could tell the message and Uche was baffled at my astute sense of translating my mind on paper.  It’s gradually starting to make sense that I must not conform.  I always usually feel kinda weird when I don’t hit hyperrealism, like I’m disappointing Kelvin Okafor by not going his style. I learnt that art is about me, that sounds a lot selfish but if I can be real and tell my story or express my style to the very best of my ability. I am so thankful for my mentor who has made me realize what it takes to be an artist.  I’m considering changing my statement of purpose.  - Mpo

 I am one who has always envisioned the beautiful yet challenging studio lifestyle, I love to bask in the glory of constant creativity and birthing of art, it sure does feel so divine.  Today, Saturday 6th September, I am choosing to show up again and stretch myself cos yes, I have deadlines I must meet today! It’s been a long time I went this hard so there’s this shock that comes with going in all at once. The process must be embraced with love, desire, passion and not caution! I have found out that playing it too safe robs you of that originality you are bound to express - the artist is not himself if he can’t stay original because that’s what not just makes me different but makes me unique. It’s wonderful to think that I am special and no one can, will or have ever equaled me, that’s super distinct! Today, I’m starting out again to make the most of my gifts and ability, to create art that speaks and makes us to look within and be our true selves.
