Akiva Broder

Akiva Broder is a London based artist and musician who uniquely channels both of these interests when bringing an idea to the canvas. He excels in 3D animation, paintings, piano and general illustration. Due to his close attention to detail, his use of vivid, bright colours and an eye-catching sense of depth & texture, he draws the viewer deeply into his imagination. His latest portraits of musical legends combine pop art and realism that go beyond the two dimensional, capturing tangible emotions that resonate and connect. There is a bold drama of colours and confidence in the portraits, and yet the raw vulnerability of a frontal gaze, challenges us to confront our own self representations.

When we look at a portrait, we look for connection. That connection, when we find it and explore it, can catapult new ideas. This transformative experience is what Akiva’s art is constantly seeking.
