Dion Cupido's work is mostly a combination of portrait and abstraction, taking his fascination with street art techniques to explore identity and recollections of the past. Ashraf Jamal, a historian, and writer detected that Cupido “represents the very newly minted post-transitional moment in SA art; a moment in which our dark history and its democratic afterglow are both beside the point.”
