Samuel Prophask
Samuel Prophask Asamoah is a contemporary Ghanaian artist celebrated for his dynamic use of colour, transcultural narratives, and experimental approach to materials. Trained at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology in Kumasi, Asamoah’s multidisciplinary practice spans painting, sculpture, and mixed media, encompassing abstract, surrealist, and realist styles.
His artistic journey began in childhood, sketching and colouring the natural world around him. Today, his richly layered works reflect a deep engagement with Ghanaian traditions, global cultural exchange, and socio-environmental concerns. Asamoah often integrates recycled materials—plastic, paper, and found objects—into his paintings, addressing sustainability while celebrating creative transformation.
Working with oil, acrylic, chalk pastel, coloured pencil, and charcoal on cotton canvas, Asamoah’s visual language is deeply rooted in symbolism, sincerity, and fluid cultural identity. His art invites emotional immersion, guided by the belief that “audience should not be distanced from the work, but part of it.”
Driven by a philosophy of interconnectedness—“everything on earth is part of the same equation”—Asamoah's work advocates for cultural unity, authenticity, and human empathy. Whether drawing from local folklore or global issues, he offers a universal visual dialogue that bridges tradition and modernity, Ghana and the world.
Asamoah’s unique synthesis of form, philosophy, and materiality makes him a compelling figure in contemporary African art.
