Celebrating Owusu-Ankomah
We have created this memorial page to honor the life and legacy of the late Owusu-Ankomah, a visionary artist whose work transcended boundaries and connected people through his deeply spiritual and symbolic paintings. Born in Sekondi, Ghana, in 1956, Owusu-Ankomah's artistic journey began at Ghanatta College in Accra and led him to Bremen, Germany, where he continued to create profound works that explored the coexistence of monumental human figures within a sea of signs and symbols.
Owusu-Ankomah’s paintings evolved throughout his career, reflecting his spiritual discovery and personal growth. In his later works, he introduced new colors and developed his own visual language, incorporating adinkra symbols and his innovative symbol, the Microcron – a representation of “universes within universes” and a meditation on parallel, multi-dimensional worlds. This concept was central to his work, as he imagined the existence of multiple realities within a single multiverse.
Before his passing, Owusu-Ankomah aspired to further develop the Microcron project by establishing an institution that would foster creativity, innovation, and support communities around the world. Through this memorial page, we hope to continue his vision by creating a space for people to reflect on his impact and contribute to his mission.
At the homepage, you will find a space to donate from the heart, supporting the continuation of Owusu-Ankomah’s work and legacy. Additionally, we invite you to share your personal tributes—whether through written words, videos, or audio messages—reflecting on your experience with Owusu-Ankomah and the lasting impression he left on your life. Together, we can keep his spirit alive and ensure that his work continues to inspire and influence generations to come.
