Although some of Stewarts most famous works are in oil paints, he still enjoys many other types of art. He also likes using spray paints. Because he can paint deatailed oil works as well as spray paint this helps to create Stewart's unique style that makes his paintings his.

Below is a picture of Amar Stewart with a few of his artworks:

I personally was drawn to his work because I found his style different from typical oil paintings and I really like that. I love how he considered rappers as if they are royalty and wanted to portray them as just that in his work. He perfectly depicts each rapper, so its clear to who they are they just appear as we don't imagine people to in today's time, which makes this all that more intersting. There is a continuing series of these paintings.
