Unique Lifestyle Art is the natural outcome of creative engagement of mental health and environmental sustainability issues over a period of about 24 years. This period conceivably began with Yusuf’s exit exhibition themed SELF EXPRESSION from the tertiary educational level. At the level, the SELF EXPRESSION show played out as the beginning of a journey of SELF ACTUALIZATION that eventually led him to visual artistic expression for the sake of the environment and mental health. Hence the motto of Unique Lifestyle Art as “Maintaining Mental & Environmental Sanity”.
