Black identities.

It’s a series I started after my group exhibition with chilliartproject. I got inspired by the doings of mankind and its black identities. As a Ghanaian artist and a black identity, I choose to paint in black to tell the narrative of contemporary black identities. I believe my works have their own stories without narrative. The reason I include flowers in my work is that I feel flowers are the representation of  LOVE, self-awakening, and self-love in the black community. Black is a color that represents us black identity. The red under it stands as blood, which in a scientific context gives life and that is what it means to me. I give life to my paintings.
