Ajay Dahiya Drawing

London, 1976
After graduating from Middlesex University with a BA(Hons) in Illustration I worked as a freelance graphic artist and designer for record and cd covers. Over the last three years I have returned to my passion for painting and produced a large body of work for various exhibitions and events including mural commissions and teaching workshops in my local borough.

I mainly paint portraits of musicians and singers from around the world. Inspired to paint by seeing the work of artists such as Lucian Freud, Dave Mckean & Jenny Saville to name a few. I like to paint on wood with acrylics, spray paint and paint pens and also combine with pencil, biro and pastel.
