Born in Ghana (1973)
I am a self-taught artist. From the age of eight I knew I would be an artist. I wanted to paint as a career but was encouraged to study science by my family.
By 1997 I could no longer ignore the creative impulse so started painting in my spare time.

Edward Ofosu

I am a self-taught artist. From the age of eight I knew I would be an artist. I wanted to paint as a career but was encouraged to study science by my family.
By 1997 I could no longer ignore the creative impulse so started painting in my spare time. With no formal training I felt I should embrace the creative talent and share it with others and keep working with what comes naturally. Throughout the years I have improved and acquired a state of inner peace and now desire to share it with the world and convey the importance of communing with our souls.
My works are versatile and I like to experiment with various mediums and forms of artwork. My works are based on realism but like exploring with an abstract style. Visionary artist Alex Grey and Leonardo Da Vinci have been my source of inspiration.
I moved to London about eight years ago and have participated in various art exhibitions. In 2009 I was awarded runner up in the Artist of the year award, organized by Artists & Illustrators magazine.
I am very much interesting in the inner journey and how I can play a role with my art as a catalyst. At the moment am working with children to inspire them with the creative impulse which can unfold the joy of our being and make the world a better place for all. Very recently I’ve been given a scholarship to study at the Hampstead School of Art.
