I was asked to turn a Logo Design into a painting. This was rather hard to do because of the simplicity of the Logo with the complexity of the painting. I had to work on the composition and visualize it before making the design which required me to work closely with the client to make sure I was able to produce exactly what they envisioned. The amount of work and details required to finish this design took almost a month to complete since this design was going to be printed on A1 paper which meant I had to work extremely closely to capture all the details while keeping it raw as concept art. If you bought one of my designs, drop me a message with a photo or a vid on my social media website if you want me to showcase it. Thank you

An original artwork I created with charcoal and acrylics. I am inspired by nature, beauty and expressive movement. Most of my art is a fusion of realism, abstract, expressionism and street art.
