Samuel Prophask Asamoah is a creative, versatile, and detail-oriented artist from Ghana. He has extensive knowledge in painting, sculpture, and most art genres. He has a unique way of expressing his artistic ideas in abstract, realism, and surrealism. Asamoah is passionate about colours. As a result, he works with diverse media such as oil paint, acrylic paint, oil and chalk pastels, colour pencils, and charcoal with a cotton canvas as his preferred working surface. He also uses found objects such as plastics, newspapers, et cetera in the form of recycled art to address environmental and sustainability issues. His inspirations are from proverbs, wise sayings, daily activities, and dreams. He believes in justness, sincerity, authenticity, as well as dynamism, hence, portrays these through the merger of cultures. This makes Asamoah’s art transcultural and transnational.
