Samuel Belawu

I am a self-taught Hyper Realism Artist". I started drawing when I was as little as 6 and it has been a moving train ever since.

I like to draw emotions. I see myself as "an observer and a listener, so I make careful observations in my environment, I do alot of thinking before I come out with am idea based on emotions (just like my first series "Serenity").

I work with charcoal and graphite pencils so I am able to create drawings that take the semblance of real human figures (hyper realism - just like the hyper realism guru, Kelvin Okafor), as inspired by my love for black and white photography.

I currently live and work in Nigeria.
