Brothers Steven and Krayina Adde are Kenyan portrait artists celebrated for capturing the depth and diversity of African identity through vivid, expressive portraits. Based in Diani Beach, Kenya, each draws inspiration from everyday life, cultural heritage, and the resilience of the human spirit. Working primarily with oil paints, they bring emotion and realism to each piece, blending traditional techniques with a modern sensibility.
Since beginning their artistic journey over 11 years ago, they have developed a distinctive style marked by attention to detail, bold colors, and a strong narrative element. They are the owners of a coastal art store where they exhibit and sale their custom art. The eclectic artwork captivates tourists and local collectors, quickly gaining a following for work that resonates across generations and borders.
Passionate about using art as a tool for storytelling and empowerment, Steven and Krayina hope to inspire a deeper appreciation for African beauty and experiences, one portrait at a time.
