I’m Edom (pronounced é-dome)

Born and raised in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, but shaped by a life lived all over. By day, I’m an art director at Ogilvy (Chicago, now NYC), collaborating with brilliant creative minds to bring bold ideas to life.(portfolio here)

By night (and whenever inspiration strikes), I’m an artist.

I’m a self taught artist and have been painting with oil since 2017. I use portraiture as a space for reflection and experimentation—exploring individual and collective cultural identities that connect me to the world.
