ARTIST BIO

Ahmed Partey is a multidisciplinary artist whose work bridges the 

realms of painting and sculpture, weaving together ancestral narratives 

with contemporary expression. Working primarily with acrylic paint,

pastel paint, oil paint and wood, Partey is both a painter and a carver.

His artistic exploration extends into the digital space, where he creates 

NFTs and immersive virtual reality experiences. Partey’s art is a 

dynamic exploration of Afro-Ancestral Spiritualism, a style that reflects 

the rich spiritual and cultural heritage of Africa, Ghana in particular,

while evoking deeply personal and universal emotions.

Inspired by the timeless beauty and mystique of traditional African 

(specifically west African) masks, Partey’s creations are imbued with 

stories of identity, emotion, and ancestral memory. His paintings and 

carved wood sculptures do not merely represent masks but bring them 

to life, portraying distinct characters and personalities that pulse with 

raw emotion. Each work is a dialogue between the past and present—a 

visual language that captures the unseen forces and spiritual 

connections that shape our world.

 Through his vivid use of colour and texture, Partey invites the viewer 

into a space where tradition meets transformation, and the boundaries 

between the physical and spiritual dissolve. His pieces are as much 

about honouring the ancestors as they are about confronting the 

complexities of the self, offering a powerful meditation on history,

culture, and human experience.

Since 2017 Partey has been cultivating his craft, constantly evolving and pushing boundaries while staying anchored in cultural heritage. Whether painting or carving, he channels the zeitgeist of his African history, creating pieces that resonate with a sense of timelessness and transcendence.
