Here is Kalif's statement:

"I started drawing as long as I can remember. I have been fascinated by anything artistic such as music, cinema, sculpture, and painting. I graduated as artist/painter in my origin country, the Democratic Republic of Congo , at the "academie de beaux art" (academy of fine arts). I moved to the United Kingdom in 2010. Since then I have been mostly sketching and drawing with mixed media, acrylic and watercolor (mostly pen, pencil, colored pencil). In the meantime, I have been doing some commission artworks (portrait, story-boarding ) and participating in local exhibitions organized by various local artists. I have also been working in many jobs outside of the artistic field and volunteering for the local film-making community based in Portsmouth. I am still looking for a proper style. My art, at the moment, is mostly study and experimenting with different techniques and subjects such as abstract characters, anima, humans, angels, and portrait  ... I try to put them in a sort of narrative and try to tell a story of humanity and explore emotion and different connection."
