I am thrilled to present the dynamic works of Yekal Art, the creative pseudonym of Cork-based artist Rob Lake.  A self-taught talent, Rob seamlessly blends his background in engineering with his passion for art, crafting vibrant pieces that resonate with energy and emotion. His portfolio is a vivid exploration of pop culture, drawing inspiration from music, street art, fashion, and sport, rendered through a mix of acrylics, spray paints, oil pastels, and stencils  .

Rob's transition from engineer to artist is evident in his meticulous attention to detail and structural compositions.  His works, such as the "MAC" painting inspired by Mac Miller's Tiny Desk performance, showcase his ability to capture the essence of contemporary icons. Beyond the canvas, Rob actively contributes to the local art scene, participating in events like the MAS Black Tie Fundraiser Ball, where his live art demonstrations & exhibitions have garnered acclaim  .

Yekal Art's pieces are not just visually striking; they are narratives that invite viewers into a dialogue between color, form, and cultural commentary, which continues to captivate and inspire audiences both locally and beyond.
