After re arranging my studio space. Decided to share with you along with my works. Which still not satisfied , feels there’s more to be done, more detailing is required. My apologies, this is how I feel. My question to my fallow friends and artists during working process do you feel there same,I know in the corner of your brain. Battling an evolving vision, meaning the goalpost is always moving, whereas an audience simply sees a resolved image, Leonardo da Vinci famously noted that “art is never finished, only abandoned”“All skin tones in my series are 100% plantain leaf”. kenkey wrappers, dried plantain leaves, cut paper, acrylic on canvas. Effort can take you far, but grace takes you where your qualifications never could. #artcollectors #contemporaryartist#dryplantainleavesoncanvas #buyart #artlovers by @senanu.alexander

My kenkey leaves add a real, tactile quality you can’t get from paint alone. The way they catch the light is different from paper. From the room studio,silent mode......#artcollectors #contemporaryartist #dryplantainleavesoncanvas #buyart #artlovers by @senanu.alexander

Regarding the Kenkey wrappers, once they have served their initial purpose, they are often viewed as disposable waste. However, I perceive them as imbued with historical significance and nostalgic value. Each leaf used in my portrait has a past life, having been used to steam corn dough and nourish individuals, and now it contributes to cultural heritage in a unique manner.Processing Time…#artcollectors #contemporaryartist #dryplantainleavesoncanvas #buyart #artlovers by @senanu.alexander

“why are humans called artists”, I’d say: we seem to be the species that makes things we don’t need to survive, just because they mean something. We gave that impulse a name. We were Here Too!!!.
