Baaba Sarpong

Baaba Sarpong is a Ghanaian visual artist based in Accra whose work is shaped by personal experience and emotional memory. Drawing from childhood trauma and household instability, she creates expressive figurative paintings layered with organic tones and recurring motifs such as brain cells. Working primarily with traditional painting techniques, she explores themes of femininity, mental health, and parental neglect, examining how early experiences shape identity. By titling her works in Effutu, her native language, Sarpong reinforces cultural value and individuality. Her practice invites reflection, encouraging viewers to confront vulnerability while considering healing as an act of strength and self-definition.
