UPENDO


Los Angeles based Biomorphic Surrealist-Abstract Artist.
Upendo’s career began in Graphic Design and print production. Designing everything from t-shirt graphics, skateboards, to cut & sew apparel. His passion for graffiti and street art pushed him to create a unique style to express his love of the two worlds of art he was living.
Inspired by soul music, funk, jazz and hip-hop, cartoons, pop culture, sports and social/political issues. Upendo uses his art to craft a feeling, a vibe that can be felt by experiencing one of his pieces. Black and white, balance and composition are the cornerstones of his creations.
This aesthetic has led to collaboration with major brands and companies. Upendo continues to build his brand inspired by his passions and life experiences, he hopes to further contribute to the culture and act as an inspiration to others.
