Farouk Alao, aka Farouk858, is a multidisciplinary artist and art director whose style is ever-evolving. By trying to make sense of the world around him through his work, he hopes to help others understand theirs. He focuses on humanity, questioning the things we think we know about ourselves.

He previously worked at the M&C Saatchi offices in London for several months following a 4-week placement as a graphic and motion designer. He also worked at Stink Studios London as an art director.
