Meet Justin — Spirit, Story, and Brush Behind Roho Studios

Art found me in a season of silence. At a time when I felt cut off from myself, my path, and my purpose, creativity became a way home. What began as an inner healing practice transformed into a sacred mission: to create art that speaks directly to the soul.

I founded Roho Studios (Roho meaning “Spirit” in Swahili) to explore the living intersection of Black identity, ancestral wisdom, and spiritual elevation. Every line, symbol, and color I use carries intention. I don’t just paint portraits—I paint energy, transformation, and the stories of who we truly are beneath the surface.

Drawing from African spirituality, celestial elements, and divine archetypes, my work is a celebration of self-love, resilience, and freedom. Each piece is meant to mirror the highest version of you—the part that dreams fearlessly, walks boldly, and lives in alignment with Spirit.

My vision is to create more than beautiful art. I create visual altars—works that ground you, uplift you, and remind you of your power every time you pass them.

Though I haven’t always lived with intention, this studio is my return to it. A reminder that we can always begin again—that we can create both art and a life rooted in truth and soul.

Thank you for being here. Whether you’re curating a sanctuary or calling in inspiration, I invite you to see yourself in this work— and to remember the divine story you are here to live.

Love and light,
Justin
Founder, Roho Studios
