More Works by Kelvin Okafor
Kelvin Okafor
Artist Kelvin Okafor specialises in hyper-realist pencil portraits. Working in the medium of photorealistic portrait drawings, Okafor has often used the term ‘aliveness’ to express the technical and sentimental value of his work.

The sensitive strokes and subtle accuracy of his style flawlessly mimic the contours of a photograph to the extent that his drawings are regularly confused with real photography. However, the aim of Okafor’s realistic drawings is not just to emulate photographs but to expose the humanity and emotional life of his subjects.
Phin Jennings

The insider Phin Jennings says:

Dubbed "emotional realism" by eminent critic Estelle Lovatt, Kelvin's style invites the viewer to enter the inner world of his subjects in an intimate, peaceful and considered way. His drawings go beyond the remit of hyperrealism; they do not seek to emulate photographs, but to capture the pure and intense humanity of his subjects on a deeper level.
