EMERGING ARTIST – FOSTER SAKYIAMAH

Foster Sakyiamah (b.1983) is an emerging contemporary artist based in Accra, Ghana. Even though his art comes naturally, he developed his artistic skills gradually from his primary education, through middle school up to the advanced level at the Ghanatta College of Art and Design in Ghana. Graphic Design and painting were his areas of interest. The rich cultural heritage of his people can be described as a clear manifestation of his art.

His work portrays his innermost feelings and activities within his surroundings. Sakyiamah doesn’t believe in monotony or binding himself with one style, but rather believes in being dynamic. He is currently the Artist in Residence at the Noldor Residency for the 2021 year.

Foster has had an impeccable start into the secondary market as an emerging artist. In November 2021 a work by Foster Sakyiamah which is currently “untitled” by Sotheby’s entered the “Contemporary Curated” auction. The estimated selling value was between £2,400 - £3,500 which went on to realise an astounding £22,680.
