ABOUT ME

Josh Hernandez, better known as ‘mad.charcoal’, is a rising star in the world of contemporary art. Born on June 1st, 1995, in Los Angeles, California, and now based in Phoenix, Arizona, Josh’s journey into the world of art began at an early age.

MY PROCESS

From his childhood, he immersed himself in sketching, creating captivating, chaotic yet mesmerising drawings with a pencil, driven by his love for realism. Over time, his exploration expanded into graphic design, where he honed his skills in digital illustration and branding, eventually working as an art director for prestigious brands and musicians.

But as time went on, Josh felt a deeper pull towards traditional art, rediscovering his passion for drawing and painting in his mid-twenties.

With a renewed sense of purpose, he began sharing his work online, where his unique fusion of chaotic abstraction and delicate realism struck a chord with millions.

His distinctive approach quickly garnered a massive following, amassing over 8 million followers, and soon, his artistry evolved into a full-time career.

Today, Josh Hernandez’s evocative charcoal portraits grace galleries and private collections worldwide, marking the beginning of a new chapter in his artistic journey.

With each new piece, Josh tells a story through his art, allowing the narrative to dictate the evolution of his work. As he continues to captivate the art world, one thing is clear: his story is far from finished, and the future holds endless possibilities.
