A New York City-based painter with African roots, born and raised in Ghana. Tafa’s background allows him a broad view of the Black experience, both within America and around the Diaspora; this view is a grand benefit to him, obvious in his vibrant canvases bursting with life and color.
TAFA believes that the Black experience draws on itself in various aspects and as such, allows for a richer history which painters like himself are documenting in their work. He cites the parallels between the history of struggle on the African continent and that of blacks in America.
