About.

Kente Imani Warren, born October 23, 1993, stands out as a self-taught visual artist whose work reflects an intriguing evolution from early influences of anime and manga to a refined engagement with realism and large-scale pieces. His artistic journey began with the careful tracing of manga imagery, a practice that laid the foundation for his meticulous attention to detail, now evident in his realistic portraiture. Warren’s work spans multiple mediums and techniques, each employed in his ongoing exploration of form, texture, and identity.

Exhibiting in group shows across Los Angeles, Warren has quickly garnered attention, with his pieces and commissions finding homes throughout the United States. What makes Warren’s trajectory particularly compelling is his relentless pursuit of a personal artistic voice. His current focus on larger works suggests an artist not content with the status quo, but one determined to leave an indelible mark by challenging conventional boundaries. In Warren’s work, we witness the emergence of an artist intent on shaping his own path, while firmly placing himself within broader contemporary dialogues.
