Naturally drawn to the dramatic topography of the Land of a Thousand Hills with its imposing volcanoes, gleaming lakes and meandering rivers, Timothy’s art faithfully communicates his fascination with the iconic beauty of his homeland. Timothy chiefly employs acrylic and metallic paints, making use of complex layering and hallmarked by intense, liberal use of colour and a high degree of experimentation particularly with with texture- that the artist deems central to his growth.
In 2016, Timothy was hosted in the cities of of Stockholm, Arvisdjaur and Lurea by the Swedish government to showcase and to demonstrate the therapeutic properties of art for refugees in Sweden.
To be an artist, he says that one must show what’s in his heart and he must be himself, he must be unique, and he must be expressive.
