Beauty of Being by Kofi Awuyah

Ghanaian artist, Kofi Awuyah, celebrates the beauty of simply being using oil on canvas. His portraits feel immediately familiar - people essentially living their lives, being in the moment, peacefully existing with family, expressing care and love without performance.

While his style is reminiscent of abstraction and cubism, Kofi’s work is firmly grounded in the reality. His portraits of well rounded, confident individuals - rooted, self-assured, and at ease with themselves - reflect the beauty of the everyday.
