I’m a multidisciplinary artist driven by a deep need to express, heal, and tell stories that often go unheard. My journey began in architecture and design, but over time, I realised that my true voice lived in the space where art meets emotion—where personal and collective histories collide.
My work is rooted in identity, faith, and memory. I create to reflect on who we are, where we come from, and what we carry—whether joy, pain, tradition, or resilience. One of my most personal pieces, The Blood-Stained Child, was born from a place of sorrow and confrontation. It's a raw and unfiltered response to the violence I’ve witnessed in my community—an image of innocence caught in chaos. It hurt to make, but it had to be made. That piece helped me grieve, helped me pray, and reminded me why I create in the first place: to process pain, to provoke thought, and to call for peace.
Much of my work, including More Love, Less War, seeks to bridge divides—ethnic, religious, generational. I draw from my Nigerian heritage, using symbols, colors, and textures that hold weight and meaning, but I also reinterpret them through a modern lens. I want my art to feel both ancestral and alive—tied to the past but speaking clearly to today.
Whether I’m working with digital media, string, textiles, or paint, I approach every project with the same intention: to stir something real. I believe art has the power to build empathy, to challenge injustice, and to heal. For me, this isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about presence, purpose, and pushing through silence with something that speaks.

Zabou
http://zabou.me/
Originally from France, Zabou moved to and started painting London in 2012. She has since then been on a self-appointed mission to paint as much of the capital as possible. With a seemingly endless supply of fresh designs to work with, Zabou is very much one of London?s most proactive artists.
Her works are striking, humourous and thought-provoking, set to elicit a range of emotions upon viewing, depending on the message each mural conveys. Working with a combination of stencil and freehand techniques, she likes to question society and to poke fun at conformists. First and foremost however is the fact that each of Zabou?s subjects are drawn from her personal experiences, taking what she sees around her and projecting it to a new audience.
Beyond this, and what is fundamental about Zabou?s work, is her innate ability to integrate the location and surroundings with her artworks: not just wishing to paint on the street, she makes them part of the street. The pieces harmonise with their surroundings and in turn create something which allows its audience to engage with the work as an installation. This is the very essence of street art and something few artists master, but certainly one of Zabou?s greatest talents.
Her witty and thoughtful designs have given her a much sought after reputation, leading her to travel the world to spread her artistic message of love, fun or rebellion. She has painted in England, France, Portugal, Cyprus, Sweden, Spain, Germany, Netherlands, Dubai and the U.S.A. Beyond her travels, Zabou?s accomplishments include speaking events such as the prestigious TedX conferences on the subject ?Everything you know is wrong? in Limassol, Cyprus (2014), seeing her artwork published in books including: Planet Banksy by Ket (2014) and The World?s 50 Best Women Street Artists by Graffito Books (2017), as well as having her work exhibited at the famous Saatchi Gallery in London as part of the ?XX: A Moment In Time? show curated by Olly Walker (2016).
Zabou is an artist whose techniques and boldness are constantly evolving. She is certainly not set to be stopping on her journey anytime soon, fortunately she has to much left to say to the world.
