From Kofidua, Ghana, emerges Sarfo Emmanuel Annor, a young visual artist who transforms portraits into chromatic celebrations of identity and hope.
Her latest exhibition, Youthful Spirits, was shown in Paris from 19 March to 3 May 2025. The series follows the emotional journey of a young girl, from innocence to new connections.
The artist has exchanged his mobile phone for a professional camera. This technical change does not alter the strength of his language: colour continues to rule.
A rope between two figures reappears as a symbol. It represents family ties and social pressures, in tension with the desire for independence.
Annor tells stories from its origins. She grew up among Kente fabrics, live markets and family affection. This memory nourishes her palette and endorses her commitment to narrate from the everyday.
At just over twenty years old, he photographs light, youth and culture with intensity. His work excites and opens dialogue, projecting an Africa that looks to the future.
