Acrylic on glass
Signed on the back.
This artwork comes with an external frame
My painting of ‘Adowa’ uses the reverse side of glass as the canvas. Multiple layers of acrylic paint, along with scraping techniques, reveal hidden shapes and textures, inviting viewers to explore the intricate details and adding texture and depth to the image. Through the clear glass we see traditional Kente cloth from Ghana. The colors of the cloth each hold symbolism: gold = status/serenity, yellow = fertility, green = renewal, red = passion, black = union with ancestors/spiritual awareness.
