Lady with a Tampi

Kwesi Botchway’s stylistic portrait Lady with a Tampi embodies the beauty of Black experience through Afro-Impressionism.

The sitter reclines confidently into her chair, luxuriating in a casual moment of relaxation. Rich purple is integral to Botchway’s palette – connoting royalty, seduction and glamour. Acrylic hand-finishing draws focus to areas where Botchway believes our emotions are best portrayed; the eyes and lips.

“My work compels the viewer to become physically and emotionally invested in the subject’s story.”
