Lupita Nyong'o by Nori Creates in Nairobi

Lupita Nyong'o

I've always loved Lupita because to me, she is the perfect definition of being proud to be an African queen. From her glowing dark skin, to her features to her personality, she has really inspired me to embrace my Africanness and be confident and comfortable in my skin. This portrait captured her authenticity and beauty 😍.

I am a Nairobi - based artist specialising in graphite and coloured pencils art. I started my art journey in 2017 as a hobby and now I am doing it professionally. I particularly enjoy doing portrait art, capturing people's facial expressions especially when they are smiling. I also love to draw pets, wild animals, cartoons and animations. I'm ready to work with clients and make their creative dreams come true. I do shipping world wide.
