Nyornuwofia Agorsor
Ghanaian painter and musician
Nyornuwofia Agorsor (b. 1983) supplements her self taught artistic skills with studies under Kofi Agorsor. A multi talented creator, she is also a songwriter, composer and lead vocalist of her own band.
Inspired by Africa’s rich knowledge systems, Nyornuwofia ’s works glorify education that unleashes creative genius. She believes transforming rote learning into practical, mind nurturing systems is pivotal. Through mathematical symbols, classroom scenes and intelligible texts tinged with childlike naïveté, her c olorful paintings capture Africa’s past, present and future.
As Nyornuwofia states, her art dwells on effort over glory, harnessing the mundane to make meaning without shortcuts. Though technology brings comforts, traditions and culture give us our humanity. She reflects to give voice, awakening audiences to enact change. Ever se eking symmetry while celebrating differences, her work spurs bettering society even in creative expression.
