IMG_2398.JPG

Jeffrey, a contemporary abstract artist residing and working in New York, he’s a visionary who draws inspiration from his upbringing in Accra, Ghana, where art surrounded him in various forms such as sculpture, dance, and visual arts. Despite not pursuing a formal education in fine arts, his passion for craft, drawing, and painting remained ingrained in him.

 

With a background in sociology and psychology from the University of Ghana and a hospitality management from the New York Institute of Technology, Jeffrey embarked on a career in luxury hospitality. However, he eventually returned to his artistic roots, delving into visual arts and painting, and quickly emerging in the modern abstract art scene.

 

Jeffrey's artistic philosophy is shaped by his early exposure to modern abstract art and is profoundly influenced by the organic movements found in nature, space, and geometry. His works showcase his unique interpretation of new school modern abstract through the skillful use of textures, metallics, natural tones, and vibrant colors.

 

In the artist's own words, "Abstract art has a captivating way of tricking and stimulating the mind, revealing something new with every glance, and that is truly fascinating to me."

 

Jeffrey's artistic journey is a testament to his unwavering passion and dedication to his craft, and his creations continue to captivate audiences with their intriguing blend of abstract expression and visual storytelling.
