"… I see art as a veritable medium to express my thoughts and feelings. In doing this, I adopt any flexible medium(s) i come across (pigments, metal, earth, resins, cast-phenolic resins etc.), malleable and ductile materials: harnessing one, two, or more of these into cohesive structures on a higher level of significance. My current approach is simple, and is aimed at de-emphasizing mass as a means to project balance of form in order to achieve aesthetic precision…’’ - Paul Aziza Imieh
