I paint figures in boxing gloves. Oil and acrylic. Lagos, Nigeria.

The figures are geared up for a fight. There is no opponent and no crowd.

Statement

I paint how people find purpose and strength in times of great despair. One figure in the frame, gloves on, ready. The fight is not shown because the fight is not public.
