« Inspiration is a force; others are the source of the artist in me. I find myself particularly drawn to musicians like Sun Ra, Jimi Hendrix and jazz legends like Miles Davis, Louis Armstrong, John Coltrane and Nina Simone Music in general is an integral part of my life and work. I believe that art is founded on the idea that sharing the creativity of others arouses in you the greatest forms of creativity that it inspires to look at what constitutes its environment and its community and that this sharing initiates creative visions, nourishing self-hope and inspiring others.

My work questions the role we play in this world as humans but also as our own identity, called black, white, yellow, Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu or whatever we choose to believe. I believe you don’t have to be of color to play a sparkling role in this world. Your actions, whether good or bad, will be the imprint you leave on others for them to contemplate and / or follow. It is important to remember that you are human first and foremost. (…) My painting does not concern any theory or any -ism. There is no other content than the image and what it shows. There is no need for political messages. The lines themselves are visual proof of the energy and process we go through as people of color. « - Idris Habib
