NANAKOS

This penwork portrait pays tribute to Grandma Akos, a Ghanaian elder whose presence reflects dignity and wisdom. In Ghanaian tradition, grandmothers hold a central role as guardians of family and heritage, and this work honours that respect.

The detailed linework and cross‑hatching capture both strength and gentleness, making Nanakos not only a portrait but also a reminder of the value placed on age and experience. For collectors, it offers a piece rooted in cultural reverence and crafted with patience and care.
