PABI DANIEL

b. 1999, Ghana

Pabi Daniel was born in 1999 in Accra, the capital of Ghana. He is a versatile painter and an advocate of hyperrealism. His precision in depicting faces stems from many years of practising sculpture: with thick brushstrokes he builds a three-dimensional image and conveys the emotions of his sitters. His painting is inspired by Adinkra, the ideographic writing symbols of the Akan language, which he weaves into the gestures of the bodies he paints to address social problems, Black identity and social and political engagement. One half of a face is often realistic, while the other dissolves into abstract impasto swirls. In 2025 TUMO galerija held his solo exhibition "Sartorial Architectures".
