Kwesi Botchway is a prominent African artist whose works celebrate and explore African identities. Botchway’s talent and artistic visions have been recognised in recent years and his art has captured the attention of collectors and art enthusiasts worldwide. This work is part of the portrait series ‘Age of no Return’, which projects Botchway’s reflections on the wisdom and insight possessed by the elderly. The artist’s encounter with elderly people has caused him to reflect on life and how important it is to do things while you are young. What particularly characterises Botchway’s approach to painting is that it is done with an open mind and based on his frame of mind at the time.
