Alex Peter Idoko
Contemporary Artist
The word "pyrography" basically means writing with fire on wood. I have practically created my style to approach pyrography with a different technique, where I use fire, razorblade, and sandpaper to draw and form my art on wood.
I primarily concern myself with writing, rebranding, and editing the Black story both in past and contemporary by bringing to the limelight Blacks of every continent while accessing issues and challenges that surround them and also setting positive images that would serve as a bearing to the new generation African/ blacks born and unborn. These artworks are created to lend voice to all who lack the power to speak in the public domain about sensitive issues that affect humanity.
Working on wood makes me collaborate creatively with nature and a sense of connection with life in all wonderful diversity, which adds meaning to my art.
