Animator, Digital Artist

I've been creating art my entire life. While being an artist is a difficult tug-of-war between my inner dreamer and critic, I've grown to love this process a lot. It hasn't just taught me much about the world, but also about myself.

My Canvas

I specialize in introspective, social commentary and abstract concepts.

I hold a First-Class Honours degree in Digital Arts from the University of West London (UWL), supplemented by a Master's degree in Documentary Animation from the Royal College of Art (RCA).

My passion for drawing commenced at the age of six, initially inspired by characters from the popular Japanese animation series Dragon Ball Z. This early interest has evolved into a profound dedication to character design and concept art. I later grew this interest towards documentary film making by combining hand-drawn animation based on gripping real life stories of modern life.

Everything is emotion, to have someone else feel the same as I do is a tiny miracle.

The Avi
Foundation

Our goal

The Avi Foundation is a soon to be organisation set up to manage Avi’s art assets and estate. Our aim is to shine a light on Avi’s life’s work while raising awareness of mental health issues among young people like Avi. Ultimately, we aim to prevent another tragedy from occuring. For the time being, the foundation is merely a concept. We are happy to work with existing Charities such as PAPYRUS and university groups as it was close to Avi’s heart. To those who wish to support us in this endevour, please contact us below.
