My painting shows a Ghanian folk hero from the 1600’s (Okumfumanachi) who through the manifestation of a miracle, brought the Ashanti people together in peaceful unity which has lasted to this day. Also depicted is the gold mining factory, which is polluting the rivers of Ghana, and endangering the wildlife of our country.
