Who is Kelvin Okafor
Kelvin Okafor is an artist with an extraordinary talent.
Using only a pencil, he captures the likeness of a person’s face with such precision that you could be forgiven for believing you are looking at a photograph.

His portraits capture the character and essence of his subjects – and bring them vividly to life. That’s why his work has been praised for its “emotional realism”.
Since the age of eight, Kelvin has dedicated his life to the development of his gift, and has created an incredibly impressive and diverse body of work. Now you can savour the fruits of his labour in several different ways.
