Meet the Artist: Lucky – The Eye Behind the Pencil

Bringing Emotion to Life in Every Stroke

Cell:076 858 8680

Lucky is a gifted artist with a rare talent — turning a simple pencil into a powerful storytelling tool. Specialising in hyper-realistic portraits, Lucky captures more than just a likeness. Every fine line, every shadow, and every subtle expression reveals something deeper: raw emotion, untold stories, and the essence of the soul behind the eyes.

Self-taught and driven by passion, Lucky's portraits feel alive — pulling you in with their detail, depth, and undeniable presence. Each piece is not just a drawing; it’s a moment frozen in time, crafted with patience, precision, and deep respect for the human spirit.

For Lucky, art is not just about realism — it’s about truth, connection, and capturing the beauty in every face.

“Art is my escape from life when things get dark — art shows me the light.”

Miss Dolly is a self-taught artist whose work is deeply personal, emotional, and raw. An introvert by nature, Louis is courageously stepping out of the shadows, using each brushstroke to express what words often cannot. Through art, Miss Dolly invites you into a world of vulnerability, healing, and honest reflection — turning life’s struggles into powerful pieces that connect with the soul.
