The Adinkra Series is a visually rich and symbolically powerful collection of Afrocentric portrait paintings. Afrocentric portrait artwork that celebrates the strength, beauty, and cultural pride. These five striking paintings show case the pride we should have as a people and where we came from. These men and women adorned in traditional African adornments, hairstyles, and symbolic accessories. Each portrait exudes a unique essence, inspired by African heritage and the Adinkra symbols of West Africa. Each painting is a standalone expression of African heritage, identity, and spirituality, yet together they form a cohesive narrative that celebrates the complexity and beauty of the African diaspora. Rooted in the legacy of Adinkra symbols—visual representations of concepts from the Akan people of Ghana—this series is a modern homage to ancestral wisdom, strength, and resilience.

The purpose of this collective is to uplift and inspire those of the African diaspora.
