Profile

Abdul Rop is an artist, designer, and creative director based in Kenya. Abdul is known for his immersive sculptures and prints that inspire social change. His work is shaped by his background in sociology and religion, often exploring themes of social justice and human rights. 

Abdul's latest series examines the intersection of geometry and cultural symbolism, drawing inspiration from octagonal forms, architectural columns, and vibrant Kanga designs. By integrating geometric motifs and narrative-rich text, his art invites reflection on utopia and the fulfillment of basic human needs, creating a powerful dialogue on equity and societal harmony.
