"Bold colors carry my vision of the world with them"
Sarfo Emmanuel Annor is a visual artist who plays with color to share the stories and dreams of young people from Ghana. He uses his smartphone to revive the art of portraiture by capturing colorful images of the local youth, translating the dynamic and happy story of contemporary Africa.
Visually appealing and emotionally resonant, Sarfo Emmanuel Annor's work fosters cross- cultural dialogue by presenting the beauty of African culture to a global audience. Captured through the lens of his phone, the untold stories of his daily life communicate the essence of his homeland. The bold and vibrant colors he chooses are not just a palette; they are a language through which he communicates the soul of his subjects. His art is not passive; it demands engagement and acts as a window into a world that may be geographically distant but emotionally universal.
His work has been featured in The Guardian, Another Magazine, Beaux Arts Magazine, Cultured Magazine, Art News Africa, Aesthetica Magazine, Perfect Magazine and Manju Journal. He was also included in a list of the 'hottest creatives of 2022’ by i-D Magazine.
