About THEOPHILUS TETTEH

 
 
  • Biography
    My works enthusiastically communicate the emotions of humans through figurative and potrait styles. In a processual nature, I approach each personality with care and consideration Projecting them as independent , bold and daring bodies, I use their eyes as the outlet for expression. Significantly, my work has a deliberate BLUE MASK covering each character's eyes. This makes room for my viewers to see beyond just a smoothly painted face but actually connecting deeply with their emotions either happiness or sadness, encouragement or rebuke,honor or disgust. I use Acrylic colours in its fresh, almost primary and raw state. My ability to use color this way and still achieve that solidity of depth and content is a unique trait that gives my style of painting a unique identity. However randomly,I slip out of my circles to create works out of inspiration. Aside art being my passion , I also seek to use my creation as a medium of communication to people around me and the world at large. Through my works , I add my voice to social ,political ,economic and environmental happenings. In all aspect I advocate love. I want to sell on Artfinder ,so i can reach a wider audience.
