Hamed Akinyemi

My love for painting and storytelling began to bloom whilst I was under the stern and attentive tutelage of Audrey Mullins at Stoke Newington School, to which I’m endlessly grateful for”

I’m known on various social media platforms under the pseudonym “Hamed Hazel” where I curate narratives reflective of popular culture, music and discourse.

The consistent feelings of most of my pieces are to give homage the uncountable layers we possess, I enjoy giving visual labels to the shared emotional atoms we subconsciously present

Like the seasons, we change, and each emotion, act, speech has its own individual story and I think we owe it to them to tell their story
