Green Earrings
2020
A luminous portrait by Ghanaian artist Annan Affotey, *Green Earrings* (2020) renders its subject in rich, warm skin tones set against a vibrant, color-saturated background characteristic of the artist's distinctive style. Executed in acrylic on canvas, the work draws the viewer's gaze to the delicate green earrings that frame the subject's face, serving as both a focal point and a quiet celebration of adornment and identity. Affotey's confident brushwork and lush palette reflect his interest in depicting Black figures with intimacy, dignity, and a sense of radiant presence.
