Collection: Amani Lewis Collection

Born in Washington, D.C. in 1994, Amani Lewis is known for their distinctively elaborate portraits, which often depict individuals from the artist’s social and creative circles through manipulation of photographic imagery. After graduating from the Maryland Institute College of Art, the artist now splits their time between Baltimore and Miami, where they live and work. Capturing the multifaceted faces of city life amid the tangle of nature, Lewis’ portraits exist to chronicle how the people in Lewis’ life have shaped their world and contributed to their growth and learnings. In doing so, they subvert ingrained preconceptions and champion empowered representations of significant figures in their life.
