[iamthenublack] Modé Chronicles

Introduce yourself

My name’s Modé and I’m Nigerian artist. I lived in four countries. The various cultures have made me what I am today. Apart from painting I write, take photos and create handmade jewelry. I love to travel and examine new cultures because I believe it gives me a better understanding of others and myself. My quest in life is to find truth, reason and to evolve.

Favourite song lyric

For sometime now I can’t get enough of “No one like you” by P-square. It makes me feel so special.

I’m inspired by

Photography, fashion, books, movies, erotica, comics, people, philosophy, poems, weird ideas… the list goes on.

My icons past/present

Frida Kahlo, Saint Aquinas, Aristotle, Leonardo da Vinci, My parents.

Thenublack philosophy/mantra

“We are more often frightened than hurt; and we suffer more from imagination than from reality.”

– Marcus Annaeus Seneca
