About Amrit Pal Singh
Amrit Pal Singh is a visual artist, 3D illustrator, and art director. He revels in play, world cinema, and the occasional side of fries. He is known for whimsical, diversity-driven designs, illustrations, and NFTs.
For over a decade, he collaborated with domestic and international clients to create mobile apps, picture books, digital toys, and more.
Amrit became famous in February 2021 when he minted his first NFT – Frida Toy Face – which sold for 3.9 ETH. Since then, he has evoked nostalgia worldwide with his collection of Toy Faces & Toy Rooms, resulting in over 94 NFTs and 384+ ETH in direct sales.
Talking About Toy Face
“As a visual artist,” he says, “my primary goal is to create artwork that connects with people on an emotional level. My chosen medium for achieving this is Toy Faces, a collection of portraits reminiscent of childhood toys that evoke nostalgia and comfort.”
Each Toy Face captures the subject’s unique features, personality, and spirit. Amrit pays special attention to the colors and patterns on each portrait, using them to enhance the toy-like aesthetic.
Artist Statement
He continues: “My inspiration for Toy Faces comes from my love of toys and the memories they bring. As a matter of fact, toys have a unique ability to transport us back to when life was simpler and full of wonder. With each Toy Face, I aim to tap into that sense of childlike curiosity and create a connection between the viewer and the subject.
Toy Face is a reminder of the power of simplicity in a world that can sometimes feel overwhelming and chaotic. I hope Toy Face brings the viewer comfort and joy, reminding us that there is always room for playfulness in our lives.”
