My name is Reginald Boateng, a visual artist and photographer, born and living in Accra-Ghana, I developed the love for photography at a tender age. but since I was young and still schooling, I could not afford a camera to start photography. After High School in 2019 I was gifted an iPhone 6s Plus by my father, which I began to be shot random images and edit them on my phone. This grew from just a hobby to become my passion, so in 2020 I started creating concepts with friends at the beach and other places I could practice my creative ideas and posted them on Instagram.

The Color Theory
As an artist, I explore the dynamic interplay of colors—how they mix, interact, and influence one another. My work is grounded in the belief that colors hold the power to evoke emotion, shape perception, and create harmony, Guided by the principles of theory of color, I aim to create compositions that connects visually and emotionally with my audience. Color is my language, and with it, I tell stories that inspires.
The visual inspiration of color behind my works is derived from “Kente”-A colorful handwoven Ghanaian fabric.The play on color combinations of the weaving process of Kente reflects in my artistic process,and aims to influence my audience of the essence and identity of Ghanaian and African culture.
