About this item

"Ghanaian artist Ayoma Alhassan creates a breathtaking wall relief panel that showcases his incredible talent for hand-carving mahogany. The panel is adorned with a stunning array of abstract figures, including humans, lizards, snakes, mice and turtles embellished with accents made from a blend of charcoal and glue. Alhassan's masterful craftsmanship is further highlighted by the intricate hand-painted details that bring each figure to life. This piece is an homage to the traditional Dogon boards of Mali, which were renowned for their intricate depictions of human and animal figures that served to ward off malevolent spirits and protect the household."

"In line with my work, I met a lady whom I married, and we had two kids. Unfortunately, she is now dead, but I remarried because I was still young. My dream for the future is to revamp my old workshop. Art for me is a passion, and so I will be teaching more and more youth. I have also taught my son to do the calabash art finishing. My aim is to continue building on my creative skills.”

“I am Ayoma Alhassaan. I was born in Nima, a suburb of Accra. My mum was a trader and my dad a gardener. I come from a very large family; I have 5 siblings. I am a very hardworking artist. After form 3, I didn't continue with my education. A friend of mine convinced me to travel to Lagos, Nigeria, and that was why I didn't continue with my education. I had to work in a harbor. From Lagos I went to Libya, and later I returned to Ghana to learn art and finishing at the Accra Art Centre. That was where I also learned to design calabash pieces, and I have now mastered the craft.
