Peter Odeh - My rendition is a blend of the inspiration from the masters,with immense influence my African culture has had on me,which makes me the product of a philosophy.As such every stroke of brush i make in an attempt to realize my visual conception is a true manifestation of my existence.And after many years of painting though i still find myself a traveler with my destiny on the horizon,giving me the notion to believe that the ends of painting are undefined boundaries of the human spirit....
