Oforiwaa Gyasi Ellen is a Ghanaian female artist who was born and raised in Ghana. Oforiwaa currently resides in Pokuase, Accra. Oforiwaa had her college education at Pharmatrust Professional College from the year 2016 to 2018. Oforiwaa diverted into becoming a full time art when she discovered her love for painting and found her voice.
She is a talented self-taught artist who uses acrylic and fabric on canvas to create stunning impressionist portraits that celebrate body positivity amongst women.
Her figures are often partially or fully naked, with bold strokes that highlight the unique differences that make us all beautiful.
As a lover of nature and growth, Oforiwaa's favorite color is green, which she incorporates into her work to symbolize life, renewal, and vitality. She also adds a touch of home by including rich and beautiful patterns and prints of African fabric to her paintings.
Oforiwaa has had a couple of group exhibitions in Accra which features “Thisnobeart” held at Jamestown Coffee Roosters in Osu Accra (2021), Weekend Market thrift at Legon Mall (2022) and an exhibition hosted by Accra-fashion week (2022).
