Philip Letsu Komla

Immersive Reflections: A Gallery of Komla's Artistic Journey

 The artist studied at the Ghanatta College of Arts and Design in Ghana, which Philip credits for giving him in-depth knowledge of techniques that allowed his artistic practice to evolve. But he is quick to add that the real credit goes to his parents. “My parents have inspired my aspiration of becoming a unique artist. Since childhood, I have been painting images that enabled me to portray how I see nature, from an illusion to reality and into a form of paintings to the admiration of humankind.” 

Philip’s artistic practice is something he’s worked on cultivating for years. He speaks of his process, “I translate illusions into reality by using the vocabulary of painting. I use acrylic paints in all my work because it suits my painting themes; I like innovation in my works because it gives me different opinions every time, and my sense of color also adds some genuineness to the paintings. I try to portray what is in me. Being me is what I create.”
 

 By presenting his subjects in colorful attire and bright, lively settings, the artist transports them to more positive, energetic, happy times and places. Philip says he finds this sense of energy himself after quiet reflection. “My greatest inspiration is the innermost satisfaction derived after a quiet when I’ve taken some time off to explore positive energy found within myself to make paintings that feed the visual need and breed the admiration from people.”
