About the artist.
K.P. Lines, also known as Angel Illustrations, hails from Swansea, UK and discovered a passion for art at a young age. As a child, Angel frequently drew on walls and eventually went on to study illustration at art school to refine his skills.
Since graduating in 2000, Angel has continued to explore and evolve his artistry, exhibiting in gallery shows, music festivals, and exhibitions throughout the UK. His artistic prowess has been recognized through nominations and shortlistings for the Exposé and GAA awards, and he has been published multiple times in Imagine FX.
Angel’s extensive portfolio demonstrates his versatility as an artist, each piece telling a unique story and exhibiting his mastery of form. For 15 years, he excelled as a digital artist before returning to traditional media and expanding his skill set to include Alcohol Markers, Gouache, Coloured pencil and Mixed media.
Angel’s artwork tends to explore a balance between beauty and the beast, reflecting the duality of his personality. In 2018, he started a YouTube channel as a side project, which has since evolved into a platform to inspire others to create and express themselves. Angel believes in showcasing his successes and failures as an artist, acknowledging that imperfections are essential for inspiring others.
“As an artist, it’s not enough to just showcase your talent. To truly inspire others, you must also reveal your flaws, and I am seriously flawed.”
