The swirling centre and intersecting lines evoke the unfiltered movement of the mind—an inner world where intuition leads and every possibility is allowed.The artist describes this series as a celebration of mental liberation, created during moments when abstraction became a form of colour therapy and emotional grounding. This vibrant work reflects that ethos beautifully, making it an impactful centrepiece for collectors who appreciate expressive, energetic contemporary art.A striking standalone painting and a rare opportunity to acquire a direct studio work by an increasingly recognised voice in British-Nigerian contemporary art.
