“Karimah engages a broader community and breaks down elitist barriers, bringing other people’s stories to life, lifting them up and highlighting them in their own environments.”
“Karimah’s paintings capture the heart and soul of London’s creative scene. What does a painted portrait evoke? An essence, an energy, a mood? For London-based artist Karimah Hassan, “It’s about the feeling—the feeling it leaves in your gut. My work captures how it is to be in the moment.””
Live Painting
A little look back at what brought me here.Live painting amidst the chaos and colour of the city’s underground — jazz clubs, open mic nights, and dance scenes where I first began. Drawing my friends and role models as they did their thing, and I did mine.
It wouldn’t feel right not to share the process.
