About Kwaku Addai

I was born in a small village in Ghana, Asamang. I have loved art since I was a child and I am inspired by what I see around me. I love to express the beauty and peacefulness of people doing everyday things.  I also love to explore color. Like what colors will express what I am painting and how will I mix my colors to show the subject and emotions. Art is in me like the air that I breathe, this is what drives me. My main medium is acrylic paint. Using acrylic's gives me the the affects that I want in my works since it dries fast and I can add layer upon layer quickly. I believe that everyone should have original art in their home. This the main reason that I want to begin selling on artfinder. I know that the internet can reach people all over the world, many more that I can reach on my own.
