Lloyd's passion for art began in his childhood and continued to develop throughout his adolescence. He uses the traditional dot technique to bring his artwork to life, and his exceptional skills in sketching and drawing are evident in the intricate details he incorporates. Lloyd's bold use of colours adds to the overall impact of his work, which has earned him global recognition, including from major galleries across Europe.
