About
Rashad Al-Karooni is an artist and Architect, based in North London where he runs his Architecture and Design Studio. His drawing style merges an abstract figurative approach with architectural, geometric and bold forms, predominantly using compressed charcoal as a way to express his vision. His influences range from futurism to sculpture, with his own artistic language acting as an extension of all that he has learnt while regularly attending life drawing sessions across London.
