About the Artist:  Nshira

Daniel Akortia signs his paintings as Nshira, which means blessing.

He is a native Ghanaian and was born in 1979.  After finishing secondary school in 1998, Daniel attended Art College for three years, pursuing drawing, painting, textile design and graphic design.

In his own words "I live in a world of my own, and therefore refuse to be drawn from real life. I concentrate on drawing my personal visions."

Many of Nshira's paintings can be found in private homes and collections, art galleries in Ghana.  He also exhibits his work at national and international art fairs.

Daniel says "My aim is to depict the history and culture of Africa as it really is, in the true colors of nature.  After completing college, I have spent all my time painting.  I mainly use bright colors, and my paintings are often like decorative patterns of abstract expression."

Happy Anniversary
20 x 24" Oil on canvas

Once every year
They come up here
Looking down
On the house where they live
He worked all his life
For his dog, kids and wife
And still he's got love to give

The Harbour Cat
40 x 48" Oil on canvas

The cat sat on the window sill
Looking at the fish
He thought to himself
How nice would it be
If they were in my dish
