Raphael Adjetey Adjei Mayne is an artist whose mediums span from the stretched line of a canvas to the cotton of African fabrics. A self-taught artist, Mayne has built on his craftmanship and worked with a sewing machine for over a decade to create an utterly unique style, bringing a mixed-matched patchwork of African materials to the canvas.
Mayne studied at the Ghanatta College of Art and Design in Accra-Ghana. Today, he uses Adinkra symbols from West Africa in his paintings on canvas and paper to capture the essence of a moment in simple detail, evoking peaceful reflection and colorful movements filled with positive energy. Mayne combines the traditional influences of his homeland Ghana with the modern aesthetic.
