Collection: Nii Hylton
A Ghanaian African artist living in Spain, Nii Hylton's clean, perfected style speaks volumes about his West African upbringing. Nii Hylton paints both traditional and contemporary styles through subjects that are cultural and social, using a palette knife for texture. His realism and abstraction are combined with acrylic and oil pastel on canvas.
Nii was born in Akuse, Ghana but grew up in the capital city of Accra. In 2002, he completed his education in Graphic Design and Painting from the prestigious Ghanatta College of Art and Design.
Nii Hylton left Ghana in 2004 to attend Truman State University in Missouri, USA.
