Kadi is an acclaimed contemporary acrylic artist based in Washington, D.C. (DMV Area). His practice is defined by a mastery of powerful impasto texture, spontaneous realism, and vibrant Pop Art sensibilities, creating emotionally charged works on both large- and small-scale canvases.
Kadi’s artistic journey reflects a lifelong passion for exploring complex themes of resilience, identity, and the unwavering human spirit amidst global displacement, channeling profound personal and collective narratives into bold color and dynamic form.
As an established figure in the DMV art scene, Kadi has been honored by the New York Festivals and was awarded an Honorable Mention at the Arlington Artists Alliance exhibition, A Brighter Light (Juror: Gavin Glakas).
