ARTISTKwabena Sena Alexander Bampoe – Senatues

Kwabena, Sena Alexander Bampoe (SenaTues). I am a figurative artist that explores human identity. The heart of my work to this day has been in abstract,realism and expressionism with an emphasis on portraiture. Academic painting techniques are the foundation for what I do also but I have enjoyed jumping off from that into experimenting with both paint application and infusing the work with elements of collages, and other materials. I think of myself as a modern contemporary artist living in Accra, Ghana. 

I was born and raised in some of the most difficult and tough parts of Accra. My passion as an artist is the depiction of life through facial expressions, body and eyes of black identities portraying traditional and modern urban lifestyles. I believe that is where our emotions are best portrayed. I also think it helps to better visualize one’s experiences and feelings; it’s an exchange of information with or without narratives.
