Aaron Trotman

Barbadian visual artist Aaron Trotman redefines portraiture through a lens of heritage, identity, and hidden truths. Known for his semi-abstract, monochromatic works rendered in pencil, Aaron's art is as precise as it is poetic-drawing from African roots, diaspora narratives, and fashion's bold elegance.

What sets his work apart? The unseen.

Using ultraviolet pigments and symbolic imagery, Aaron weaves secret layers beneath the surface-visible only under UV light. Each piece becomes a quiet interaction, where meaning unfolds in stages and perception is challenged by discovery.

Fusing classical technique with contemporary storytelling, Aaron Trotman creates more than portraits

—he builds visual experiences that speak to beauty, culture, and self on multiple levels.
