Oba’s Story

Oba Iman Art & Design | NYC

The Journey

It began at age five with a box of crayons in my home’s hallways. I spent decades in the business world while keeping my gift hidden, but I never stopped drawing or creating. Authorized on May 16, 2023, this gallery is the professional legacy of a lifetime spent in the shadows. I create because it’s my calling and I live it.

The Process: Hand-Drawn Digital

I am a Hand-Drawn Digital Artist with a hybrid signature. I use my eyes, mind, heart, and fingers to create—blending raw Sharpie and pencil sketches into the digital world. I then hand-paint and embellish every piece to create a textured, one-of-one original you can see and feel.

The Mission

Bringing inspiration to uninspired spaces through the lens of pure imagination. My focus is creativity and imagination—bringing stories into your world so you feel alive and inspired to share your own.

The Legacy  

These pieces are intended to be more than just a view; they are stories for you to be a part of. They are meant to be felt today and passed on tomorrow. One day I won’t be here, and my hope is that my contribution is talked about through the creativity I’ve left in your home.

Be a part of the story. Start a legacy in your home.
