Nana Osei, born Victor Osei Mensah in 1997, is a self-taught contemporary Ghanaian artist known for his expressive figurative paintings, primarily created using acrylic and oil on canvas. Drawing deeply from the rich cultural heritage of his Ghanaian roots, Osei's work is a powerful exploration of identity, heritage, and the human condition. His art often reflects a profound connection to his ancestors, capturing their essence through symbolic representations of ancestral tribal marks and other culturally significant patterns. The eyes in Osei's paintings act as a symbolic mirror to the soul, evoking an intimate connection between the viewer and the subjects portrayed.
