Yasser Claud-Ennin

Born and raised in Lagos, Nigeria and Accra, Ghana, Yasser discovered his passion for art at a young age. He was inspired by the traditional crafts and textiles of his community.. As he grew older, Yasser became drawn to contemporary art and began experimenting with new techniques and styles.

Today, Yasser is recognized as one of West Africa's most promising artists, with exhibitions and collaborations across the region and beyond. His work can be found in public and private collections.

With each piece, Yasser seeks to challenge stereotypes and redefine the image of Africa in the global imagination. He believes in the power of art to spark dialogue and create positive change, and is committed to using his talent and platform to promote social justice and equality.

Whether through his vivid paintings, murals, or digital art, Yasser's work captivates and inspires. His journey as an artist is just beginning, and we can't wait to see where it takes him next.
