The sales from his animal themed artwork have significantly contributed to his financial support for his education. When questioned about why he didn’t pursue a degree in fine arts, he explained, “As a child I was advised that one cannot sustain a livelihood through art, especially coming from Africa. However, I was young and inexperienced at the time to realize that this was not true.” He is particularly interested in the progression of complex digital art creation, artist management, and distribution utilizing modern technology. Isaiah began sketching birds and insects with a pencil at the age of 14, demonstrating his ability to draw live objects and animals effortlessly.
He was raised in a family of four as the eldest child, with a father who was a clergyman and strict disciplinarian, and a mother who was a businesswoman. Growing up, he and his siblings were raised with strict rules, making it challenging for him to express his desire to pursue a career as an artist, especially since society often viewed artists as unserious individuals. Isaiah’s passion has always been art, with a natural talent for computer-related tasks as well. Even during his high school years, he excelled in configuring software and understanding complex computer systems beyond his years. This solid foundation allowed him to seamlessly transition from pencil art to mastering digital art. As a result, he was able to recreate many of his childhood drawings, some of which were displayed at a recent exhibition in the United Kingdom. Furthermore, he has been chosen to showcase his work at upcoming exhibitions in Switzerland, Spain, and Greece in the coming weeks.
