The Artist

Jabari Raaziq is a Lexington-based mixed media artist born in Atlanta, GA. After a successful college football career at the University of Kentucky, a career-ending injury shifted his path and led him to discover his true purpose in art. His work explores themes of identity, resilience, and transformation through vibrant color, expressive figures, and symbolic elements such as arithmancy puzzles and geometric forms. Drawing from personal experience, Jabari transforms life’s challenges into visual narratives that invite reflection, encourage healing, and inspire others to pursue their true calling.

Create from the heart

One stormy night, I fell into a deep sleep. My intuition came to me, whispering lullabies into my ear. Drawn by its gentle voice, I awoke and chose to follow it.

It led me through the wilderness until we reached a deep blue body of water. My intuition leaned close and whispered softly, "Look into the water and tell me what you see."

As I gazed into its depths, I saw my inner child happily drawing and coloring. The vision filled me with a profound sense of peace, and a quiet stillness settled over the water. Mesmerized, I leaned closer. With every inch I moved forward, the image became clearer, more vivid, until I lost my balance and fell into the water.
