He is a believer of administering art to conceptualize possibilities, forecast future happenings.

"Drawing has always been my first preference and use several mediums in this field. Being able to jump between the monochromes of graphite to the colored pencils is easy and gives variety to my work and interest to my portfolio," he told Pulse.com.gh.
