Abdullahi is a self taught mixed media artist working primarily paintings with textural feel to bring the art works to life. His work bears the proud influence his surroundings, with which he expresses himself through his vibrant collage works. Taking inspiration from abstract expressionism, Abdullahi combines vibrant colours, applied with confident brush strokes and wood carvings, with intricately arranged elements of discarded material, resulting in mid-to-large sized mixed-media works that explore socio-political themes.
