I am from the Eastern region of Ghana (Kwahu) and I live in Accra.
Being a person who see's beauty through imperfections. I believe life's uncertainty and all it's unbalanced situation add up to what makes the beautiful experience we live everyday.
My work explores geometic shape and figuration of models and everyday people around me by putting together little pieces of patterns to create an intriguing image which i paint with acrylic paint
Like the brocken pieces of a mirror, we see our reflection when we look through them. Just like us human, all the brockeness in our life's comes together to make who we are and who we become if we embrace the beauty it comes with.
Statement
I am writing this letter to express my strong interest in your program and to inform program as my number 1 choice for residency.
Excellent program offers several unique strengths that make it the right program for me.
What I hope to achieve at my residency is to make my paintings a symbol of encouragement to people who feel broken that all is not lost, there’s an iota of beauty in their brokenness and only if they can see and focus on the beauty in their misfortune they would get back stronger.
