Artist creates stunning mural in Premier League star Oleksandr Zinchenko's home gym

An artist has created a stunning life-like mural of Premier League star and Arsenal defender Oleksandr Zinchenko's home gym. Artist Emma Kenny was approached by the Ukrainian international who commissioned her to create the mural. Emma said: "Zinchenko approached me on Instagram and had a fast-approaching deadline correlating with his move-in date. "It was a massive challenge, but super rewarding and he was really happy with the result." The video has gone viral on TikTok and done the rounds among supporters of Zinchenko, with over 56,000 likes and over 700,000 views. Emma captioned the video: "Full-time has been called on my biggest ever painting project; 42sq metres, 125 hours, 13 days, 2 portraits, 1 player. "Aside from being exhausted, I mostly feel incredibly honoured to have been asked to create this beast of a mural for @zinchenko.96." Emma was born and raised in south-east London and studied art up until her A-Levels, but took a "leap of faith" to become a full time artist when the pandemic hit.
