RAPHAEL ADJETEY ADJEI MAYNE
RAPHAËL ADJETEY ADJEI MAYNE was born in 1983 in Accra, Ghana. Since 2013, He lives and works in Cologne, Germany.
He studied at the Ghanatta College of Art and Design in Accra-Ghana. Mayne is an artist whose mediums range from the stretched line of a canvas to the cotton of African fabrics. The artist relies on his self-taught skills; working with the sewing machine and over ten years of experience to create a very unique style - to bring a mixed and matched patchwork of African materials to the canvas. Using Adinkra symbols from West Africa, his paintings on canvas on paper capture the essence of a moment in simple details evoking peaceful reflection and in colorful movements filled with energy. Mayne combines traditional influences from her native Ghana with modern aesthetics.
