Alex Mensah, known artistically as Lexis, is a Ghanaian painter recognized for his versatility with color and his meticulous technique. His passion for art began in childhood, inspired by his elder brother’s sketches, which sparked a curiosity about realism and how three-dimensional forms could come to life on a flat surface. A graduate of Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) with a degree in Painting, Lexis works primarily with acrylics and aciduro (a local pigment), using bold textures and vibrant colors to express emotion and tell visual stories.

His work explores a wide range of themes, from still life and landscapes to abstract and music-inspired pieces. As a guitarist, Lexis often interprets sound through color and texture, using brushstrokes to represent pitch, tempo, and emotion. He draws inspiration from nature and music, creating unique, expressive pieces that reflect his inner thoughts and passions.
