PiNS real name Bhupinder Singh is a British contemporary artist and designer whose practice explores the intersection of South Asian heritage, urban culture, and high fashion. He first gained international recognition for his unique approach to footwear, specifically his hand-painted custom sneakers that transformed athletic shoes into wearable art. This early success earned him the title of the premier sneaker artist in the United Kingdom, leading to collaborations with major global brands and features in prominent design publications. His work often bridges the gap between the street and the gallery, utilizing vibrant colors and intricate patterns to challenge traditional notions of luxury and consumerism.

Central to his artistic identity is the use of the doughnut as a recurring motif. This symbol serves as a playful yet profound commentary on the sweetness of life, the cycles of desire, and the hollow nature of material obsession. Through large-scale canvases, sculptures, and immersive installations, he invites viewers to reflect on their own cravings and the cultural symbols they consume. His aesthetic is characterized by a bold use of line and a palette that draws inspiration from the energy of London street life as well as the rich textile traditions of India.

Beyond his individual output, he is committed to community engagement and art education. He frequently leads workshops and public projects aimed at empowering youth through creative expression. By blending his personal history with contemporary pop art sensibilities, he remains a vital figure in the British art scene, consistently pushing the boundaries of what it means to be a multidisciplinary creator in the modern era.
