Being born and raised in Nigeria, West Africa and now living in the heart of Texas, my perspective as an African and now an American have helped shape my life experiences which in turn fuel my passion to create art that not only represents these two worlds but merge them in a traditional and contemporary symphony. My work is a celebration of African cultural identity and the beauty within our roots. Through expressive figurative portraiture, I seek to honor the strength, resilience, and unity woven into African communities. Each painting becomes a reflection of belonging — a dialogue between tradition and modern identity — inviting viewers to reconnect with their heritage and see the strength that culture gives us all.

Guinn’s paintings and artwork explore a range of topics from an honest and thoughtful perspective. A native of Terrell, Texas, he is a graduate of Southern Methodist University with a BFA in graphic design. His paintings are characterized using everyday themes seen through the eyes of an African American for whom recognition and a conceptual approach play an important role. His art reveals an opportunity to explore life in a picturesque east Texas rural community through the eyes of his ancestors. His focus is on the multi-layered nature of art, aiming to depict the complications of life through a combination of color, texture, and symbolism. He has exhibited at various venues in the D/FW area and his work has been frequently awarded and recognized. “I do not limit myself to one medium, style or concept. Inspiration and ideas change. Knowledge changes. Each piece I create is simultaneously an extension of my heritage, where I’ve come from and what I’ve learned, as well as a reflection of the challenges we still face and the hope we hold for the future.”

Where Would I Be If I Didn’t Know You is a living archive of love, influence, and becoming. Each portrait in this series honors a person who has shaped my life. The people whose impact arrived through care, example, shared moments, or presence.

The butterfly appears throughout the work as a witness to transformation: a symbol of growth that is not solitary, but nurtured. It reflects the ways we change by observing, by belonging, and by moving through life alongside others who quietly expand what feels possible.

This series acknowledges that identity is not formed in isolation. It is inherited, mirrored, and gently shaped through proximity and connection. These portraits are not likenesses alone. They are thank-you notes, love letters, memory keepers, and acts of recognition.

At its core, this body of work asks:
Who have you become because someone was there?
