Ebisa Keju

I am a figurative and portrait painter based in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. My work often focuses on solitary female figures and portrait subjects captured in moments of stillness and quiet contemplation. Through minimalist and subtly abstract environments, I explore emotional states of waiting, reflection, and inner presence.

Working primarily in acrylic on canvas, I create intimate paintings where atmosphere and silence carry meaning. My portraits are not only likenesses, but emotional studies that invite viewers to slow down and connect with the subject on a deeper level.
