### **Emile Zakiy Moses (b. 1992, Ipswich, Suffolk, UK)**

Emile Zakiy Moses is a multidisciplinary artist whose journey in art has been shaped by global influences, street culture, and an innate connection to creativity. From a young age, he found solace and belonging in artistic expression, using it as a means to navigate and interpret the world around him. His work is a reflection of culture, tradition, and personal evolution, drawing from a rich tapestry of inspirations that transcend borders.

His first solo exhibition, *Serpents Under the Rainbow* (2015), was held at the Town Hall Galleries in Ipswich, Suffolk. In 2023, he presented *Samsara* in London—his second solo exhibition and a major breakthrough in his personal and artistic development. Curating and organizing the entire exhibition independently, Emile made it happen through sheer passion and determination, proving his ability to carve a space for himself in the art world. Since then, he has exhibited across England, Europe, and Asia, collaborating with creatives and expanding his artistic practice across multiple mediums.

Art is not just a profession for Emile—it is a vital part of his being. He has always been a visionary, constantly looking toward the future of creative expression. His current work is heavily influenced by high fashion design, as he explores what he believes to be the masters of the industry. Painting high fashion imagery, Emile pushes to carve his own niche in the fashion world, aspiring to collaborate with the best fashion houses and integrate art into fashion’s evolving narrative.

Emile's artistic style is diverse, flowing freely between oil painting, illustration, graffiti, spray paint, and typography. While his work spans various techniques and mediums, the human figure and portraiture remain central themes. His recent fine art paintings, crafted with a mix of methods, reflect his evolving voice and will soon be featured in an upcoming London exhibition.

Art is Emile's life and passion, and he sees it as a tool for connection, healing, and pushing boundaries. His ethos extends beyond the canvas, advocating for a mindful, holistic approach to existence: *Mind, Body, and Soul*. Passionate about giving back, he donates 10% of all print sales to carefully selected charities, including [UK Charity Water](https://www.charitywater.org) and [World Land Trust](https://www.worldlandtrust.org).
