About

Akoswa, a versatile mixed media artist, is best known for her dynamic and contemporary abstract cubist creations. Originally from Colorado Springs and having roots in various places as an Army brat, Akoswa has been sharing her artistic talents since early 2017. While her primary medium is acrylic paints, she revels in exploring other artistic realms, including digital illustration, street art, and wearable art.

What sets Akoswa apart is her independent journey in the creative field, devoid of representation from galleries or external sources. Despite holding a master's degree in graphic design as her only formal qualification, her passion and unwavering dedication drive her to continuously craft expressive and audacious artwork.

Having spent years navigating the corporate landscape, Akoswa ultimately realized that her true calling lay in the world of art. Making the bold decision to leave her desk job, she embraced the dual roles of business owner and full-time artist. Now, Akoswa operates from her transformed garage studio in Charlotte, North Carolina, with her original pieces and prints gracing homes across the globe.

Akoswa's transparency in both her work and creative process reveals that her art transcends the mere act of creation. It's a celebration of the joy, happiness, and narratives that emerge from each piece, inviting the world to share in the experience.

Pop culture saturates Akoswa's creations, allowing her to explore the intersection of contemporary society and artistic expression. She deconstructs and reimagines cultural icons, celebrities, and media references, presenting them in a fresh, abstract light that encourages viewers to see familiar subjects in a new way.
