A reimagining of the iconic Ghanaian Akwaaba photo, this artwork pays tribute to one of the most recognisable symbols of Ghanaian hospitality. Every Ghanaian knows the smiling face that has welcomed guests in homes, hotels, and public spaces for decades. In this interpretation, I present the image in my own artistic style, celebrating the warmth, pride, and beauty that Akwaaba embodies. More than just a greeting, it represents the spirit of Ghana: open, vibrant, and full of heart.
Hahnemuhle German Etching - Matt / 310gsm, A heavy-duty paper with a more textured finish than Photorag, a velvety matt surface, and a warm white hue with traits of a traditional artist board — reproduces painterly images, lithographs and pastels superbly.
