Artist Profile

Ahmed Partey
Self-taught contemporary artist based in Ghana
Ahmed Partey is a self-taught contemporary artist based in Accra, Ghana, whose work is deeply inspired by West African masks, sculptures, patterns, and symbols. Through a practice he calls Afro-Ancestral Spiritualism, Partey reimagines traditional African art forms to reflect contemporary realities, creating a bridge between ancestral heritage and modern identity. His art spans a wide range of mediums—including acrylic, oil, pastel, wood, and immersive digital platforms like virtual and augmented reality. Bold colors, abstraction, and symbolism define his visual language, as he explores themes of identity, connection, religion, depression, and rejection. By blending the flexibility of digital tools with the authenticity of traditional methods, Ahmed Partey offers a multidimensional and meaningful experience for both African and global audiences.
