Dear Chidi,

    Thank you for letting me look at the beautiful colors in your paintings. The talent that you possess, the ability to express what you see with paint and paper, is comparable to the ability of speaking a second language. You have multiple talents to ex-press your sense of sight. However, your paintings allow the brilliant colors to emphasize the areas of importance

  I was blown away by your works.  What a refreshing execution of your craft . I am a black South African freelance journalist and poet.  My interest is to write a profile on you for one of South Africa's magazines, Tribute or Sunday Times Magazine. Let's talk.

Greetings,

  My name is Marc O. Vinson.  I am seventeen years old and I attend the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics as a senior.  As I browsed your website, I felt compelled to email you and express how helpful the information you have provided is.  I'm preparing for a project for my African History and Literature class.  The project must focus on West Africa.  Therefore, I was in search of some poetry to present to the class, as well as some interesting visual aids, that are representative of familial relationships, struggle in Africa/West Africa, and the rebirth of Africa.  I found your poetry to be superb representations in each of these areas.  As I continue to prepare, I will analyze and interpret your literary masterpieces for myself, however, I would love to explore exactly what you, the author, suggests.  If possible, I would like to ask specifically about only certain pieces, as I will only draw information for my project from certain pieces of your poetry (although I have thoroughly enjoyed reading all of them posted!)  If time would permit you to do so, please let me know, and I will send very specific questions. I would also like to ask if you, in addition to posting the website, do conferences for school functions, or would be willing to speak at a school function.  If so, I would like to request information in regards to a conference at my school, or your presence as a featured speaker, sponsored by the Diversity Club, in which I am the President and founder of.  Thank you so much for your time, and if you can help me in any way, (with my project, or with a school function), I would be most grateful.  Once again, thank you.

dear Chidi,

it is really nice and refreshing to be on your site. As an artist, a poet and a Nigerian myself I can't explain how excited I am. (I live in Maryland.) My brother sent me the link and I have not finished viewing everything, you will be hearing from me regularly. Keep the cultural touch burning and may God crown your good work.

Sincerely,

Victor Ehikhamenor.

hi there,

I am Bayo Ayoade, and I an executive at the African Students Association at the Indiana University Bloomington, IN. We normally have an African Cultural night every year, but this week we are having an African Awareness week. I saw some of your Art display on the web. I would like to know if you could display those arts for us, and also you will be given recognition on the schedule of events for the day for more publicity for you. Also, the Student News paper might carry it and include your art. I do understand you are in the business of making money. We would like to know how much this would cost us, and from your professional experience the quantity, or substantial amount of displays would be good enough to enlighten people about African Art. Cheers,

Bayo

Chidi,

Congratulations for the wnderful job u are doing....just went thru ur page and the work makes me feel proud as a Nigerian, indeed African God bless your hard work....    warmest regards,

I Think I'm In Love!!!

  Hello Chidi,

  I happened to be searching for Nigerian forums using the aol search engine, and I found a link to your site. I am a lover of the Nigerian culture, arts, and (men). :) When I started my anxious clicking throughout your site, I found myself lost (a good kind of lost) in your beautiful yet simple poetic style. And your paintings... I just couldn't see enough... they are significantly superb, truly adding to "the land of many colors." I have intention to start saving $$$ for many of your pieces. One more thing...

dear chidi,

my name is ami trivedi.  i visit anjali's artbrush.net site often.  i just saw a collection of your paintings on her site; then, i visited your site to get a closer look at your work.
your work stirs great excitement in me.  it is more than just aesthetic experimentation of color and texture.  it is the voice of knowledge and keen observation of the most subtle, but precious beauties of the world.  however, what initially attracted me to your work is the rhythm it expresses of your bold culture.  your expression is powerful and sincere.  in your work, you depict a world, mine and yours, as you first saw it and as you will always see it in your lifetime.
much success in the future.

-AMI-

Absolutely love your work! Your poems are unique and meaningful, therefore I would like to keep in touch with your latest designs and also arrange orders at some point.

Yours faithfully,

Nadia Francis

Chidi,

  I saw your art at the Chapters store in Richmond and fell in love with your "Healing Dance" print.  Do you have a studio here in Vancouver? Would love to see more of your art in person (love the web page, though!).

hello chi.

 I see all the painting in your "home of African contemporary art" and all are very good in my eyes.  I'm hoping that i can get one of the beautiful painting...

Hi Chidi,

 I have just spent the last hour viewing your works, and I must say the are beautiful. Some of them I can relate to and others would take longer to understand. Nevertheless I enjoyed myself. Please keep up the good work and the culture alive.  Sincerely,

Macaulay Eteli

Hallo Chidi,

I just chanced on your Homepage this evening. I took time to admire your works of art. I permit myself to grant you a wholehearted compliment: You're great. Keep it up. I'll get in touch with you once more. I'd like to have a look at your poems. I'm also a poet. Keep the flag flying.

  Chi Chiazzo.

Beautiful art

I just want to express my thankfulness for seeing your art! Your paintings and poetry are truly works of love and light and beauty!! An inspiration for the world to
join in community! I was driving in a rush of traffic and your bright colours and imaginative landscapes and images caught my eye and I just had to pull over to
take a closer look!! Thanks so much, I will pass on your web address to all of my friends!! Sincerely,
Catriona, Keep up the great work!

I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed looking at some of your
creations. Being an African woman and living in Australia can kinda make
you lose sight of a lot of things, such as, who you are and what your
roots are. When viewing some of your work made me feel like you were
personally speaking to me, reminding me of the sheer beauty and strength
of being a woman, an African woman ("Hold On"). Thank you!

Chidi, I boola chi?

  We've been engulfed in a dance of hate to appease self. Swam in pools of confusion to find solace. Cultivated in a land of vengeance to be at peace.

And dread the harvest of sin. (When will we learn that evil can never bear good?  When will we realize that when we sow negativism

we should be fearful of what ugly mess (hurtful actions) we will reap or what pestilence (anger, depression, ill of health) breed will have to be destroyed.   They say that at the bottom of anger is really deep hurt...wounded spirit. We have drowned the spirit of joy (what an image) to create sorrow and solitude of self in an attempt to stay king in a world of selfishness.

  (Why haven't I noticed this poem before?  I think I have mostly concentrated on the picture only.   The color.  The movement. (This is the picture I was referring to when I said it "inspires one to want to share it with someone they love".) Stepped on souls of meek and weak; brutalized heads on our way to the top to be rewarded by nature. Look up to the moon (In September, Michigan's harvest moon is magical) and sacred mountain of the sky (One day, I shall see a Nigerian sky...).

(Sometimes we need to elevate our minds above a base humanness’, and look up to heaven and around this magnificent earth to get a new idea about loving each other and living in peace together.  For there are two kinds of peace

1. The absence of war 2. Harmony.    There is more joy in the second.)

  Listen to the songs of the sacred land. Feel the healing wind of the sea.

  Step into the vibrations of energizing songs of sun. Let's dance (yes I want to now) beyond the rhythm of sorrow and lift our legs and hands in praise of life. Dance to the wind of drums for the rejuvenation of souls.

(By just having breath in our body and senses to experience this earth, the elements and God's gifts (each other) we really do have it all.

  This ministered to me today.  And, I wanted you to know.  

Daalu, adaeze

Dear Mr. Okoye,
We just purchased your "Sorrow of Eve" piece during an auction at 
Sandals, Montego Bay. We just wanted to say that this piece has such a 
special meaning to us because it is the first ever piece that we both 
instantly agreed on and just "had to have". I don't even question why, but it 
has this mystical, magical, haunting, emotional quality that simply 
"spoke to" us. We each saw it separately the first time and both couldn't 
wait to take each other back to the show area to see it. It was truly 
funny that when we went back to the display area we were both talking 
about the same painting. We knew then without a doubt that we had to have 
it. My son is also an artist and has overwhelmingly given his stamp of 
approval. As a matter of fact, he tried to talk us into allowing him to 
hang it in his home "for safe-keeping". Of course we told him he had to 
wait until we were gone from this world.
Your work is amazing. Thank you

Thanks a million again. My husband was so shocked and as he thought the 
first time, the work is "

I thank our heavenly Father for giving you the immense talent in your arts. Your work is very unique, ideal and 
sophisticated. I have purchased some of your arts and enjoy the sense of awareness they arouse in me. I pray
for every eyes that view your work to be appreciative. I am proud of your talent and I wish you the best in your endeavors. 
Peace, Joy and Love, Ade.

Please I will love to read your thoughts on my works and share it with the world. it means a gold to me. manager@modernartimages.com
