UNITY GROUP

In February 2025, I was commissioned by Unity Group Real Estate to create a 4.5 x 2.4m painting for the reception entrance of their new building in Bethnal Green, East London.

Creating this piece in East London, where I lived for six years, felt like leaving a part of myself there. I loved developing the concept, painting, and bringing it all together in a place that means so much to me.

A brief description about the piece:

Title: Worth More Than Eyes Can See
Location: A six-floor office building at 469 Bethnal Green

This artwork intertwines two iconic East London narratives: the Kray Twins and the Blind Beggar. On the left, the infamous Kray Twins are subtly merged with a knight, symbolizing both power and fragility. Their presence recalls the 1966 murder of George Cornell at the Blind Beggar Pub, forever linking them to Bethnal Green’s history.

At the base, the Blind Beggar represents personal and communal struggles, his blindness symbolizing deeper wisdom. To the right, his daughter Bessy stands with strength, embodying resilience and the spirit of the community.

Encircling the piece, the phrase “Worth More Than Eyes Can See” reminds us to look beyond appearances and recognize the unseen strength and value in every individual.

SHRINE TO THE VINE

Creation and development of the identity of new wine shop in London.

Part of the identity is brought from the label I designed for by now quite well know Chin-Chin wine.

VANS

As a passionate of sneakers culture and personal interest in subcultures, I wanted to represent the culture which certain model of sneakers are associated with.

To me Vans authentic model represents Skateboarding and Surfing culture, I wanted to set up the scene in California, where Skateboarding was born after Surfers were seeking for something to do when the waves were flat.

To produce this animation I work with music composition and sound design Father studio in London and animator German Belomestnov.

INVESCO - HOW NOT TO SUCK AT MONEY

Creation and development of the artwork for a 3D educational video game for Invesco.

I have been asked to create a series of characters and 2 different environments/stages (University campus and a college town) .

Preloaded studio brought all my graphics to 3D and creating as a result ‘How Not to Suck at Money’ (HNTSAM), a web-based game that offers players an interactive learning experience based on real-world financial situations.

Students learn how to make important financial decisions by helping characters solve various money dilemmas through choice-based gameplay, empowering financial independence.

Apart from this, a lot of work was applied to other mediums for the promotion of the game, such as an installations for a panel discussion about money during event Georgia Tech at McCamish Pavilion, Atlanta, costume design of the main mascot of the game and large posters and banners were glued around the arena apart from other merchandising.

The artwork created for the game was also showed in Times Square on large screens.

NIKE

You know that feeling when you come back to the office after the weekend. Mondays can feel tough and heavy but you gotta keep on! Keep yourself active is a great way to deal with it!

The idea behind this animation is to represent that feeling when you can’t deal with more work/problems and I wanted to show how running can fuel your energy to help you cope with your daily life, using one of my all time favourite running sneakers Nike Vapormax Flyknit as a main feature.

To produce this animation I work with music composition and sound design Father studio in London and animator German Belomestnov.

The second location took place in Cologne (Germany) at Dmexco (Digital marketing exposition & conference) where the mural was set in a large space room.
