Akira Amani
About
Hello, I'm a multidisciplinary artist based in London UK. I currently specialise in traditional graphite art, illustration and statement art pieces for social change, click here for more.
Although I enjoy exploring diverse art styles, my personal artwork is based on storytelling and creating imagery that evokes empowerment through an ethereal aesthetic with a fierce dark edge.
I've had the privilege of collaborating with a wide range of brands, both established and start ups since 2012. In addition to my commercial work, I am the founder of an empowering wearable art label, where I strive to merge art, fashion and well-being. Find out more by clicking here.

Teaching and workshops
Throughout my teenage years, creative skills were integral to expressing myself and overcoming challenging times. In 2016, I gained a PGCE and developed UAL accredited courses in creative arts including branding, digital and wearable art. Tailored for A Level students, these courses aimed to equip young people from all walks of life, with the tools and skills to express themselves as well as gain employment within the creative industry.
Today, I extend my teaching expertise and 10+ years of industry experience to adults through personalised one-to-one sessions. If you'd like to find out more please do get in touch via the form below.
