“I am comfortable and confident wearing [denim] in my life, so I transfer that to my art,” he says.

Before pursuing art as a full-time career, Denimu says, the “need to create” influenced him to develop this singular art form.

“The art gave me something— something that was mine and something to represent me—allowing me to be confident in myself, my identity,” he says. “I decided to devote everything I had to it, and I think that will be the greatest choice I ever made.”

Denimu’s next solo exhibition will open at the Catto Gallery in London on Nov. 21.
