There are many forms of artistic expression pertaining to the creation of artworks, for instance, representational, abstract or figurative art to name just a few.  For me, I choose to utilize “history “and “culture” as my portal or point of entry while making visual artworks.  This is because art is a mirror of society and helps to evoke or provoke viewers to contemplate their lives and their past; a life and history that forge their own identities.  History also reminds us of past events in terms of the political, social and economic development of a country or nation.  These events inevitably reflect certain characteristics of a society that constitute “culture” and meaning at that particular moment in time. Culture and memory or our sense of the past closely enhances our identity .Hence, history and culture assist us to look back in order to seek positive changes or effects in our lives.
