His creative work also extends into nonprofit organizations, helping them maintain their branding and visual identity. He has worked with the
Department of Education to support creative initiatives and has contributed as a creative in advertising, working on projects for brands such as Nike, Sour Patch Kids, Yamaha, Unilever, and more—bridging culture, commerce, and art in ways that leave a lasting impact.
He believes in holding onto dreams while never breaking from reality. His work rants, questions—what is “deece”? What is truth?
Born on the same day as Picasso, he once traced the streets of Andalucía, stepping through the echoes of the artist’s birthplace. But his art moves in a different direction—shaping stories of a fragmented past, piecing together Black history and the African diasporic experience.
Brooklyn—East New York and Clinton Hill—provided the foundation. Energy and culture molded his vision, sharpened by the rebellious spirit of Fela Kuti. From that fire, the name BLKPRES was born—short for Black President, Black Press, Black Precedent.
A distinct artistic language emerged from his work: fragmented, defined by Cubi-Realism—a fusion of abstraction and structure, where fractured forms reveal deeper truths, and layered perspectives reconstruct identity, memory, and history. The rhythm of his work moves like Hip-Hop, Afro House, Afrobeats, Amapiano—syncopated, textured, alive. The Black Sentinnial (1925–2025) reclaims a century of Black history, challenging narratives and reshaping the stories passed down. To him, culture stands as the highest currency, second only to time.
