'Thursday Mask'

By Godwin Atta Geoman, this beautiful composition depicts a series of doll masks from the Krobo people of eastern Ghana. "These were given to barren women born on Thursday. In the olden days, the dolls were thought to make the women fertile," he says. "The doll has a mask on the face and on the abdomen, symbolizing the baby the woman will carry inside her."

An artisan story card will be included with your purchase.

Godwin Atta Geoman

Godwin Atta Geoman hails from a busy urban area, where he was born on May 16, 1977. He began painting at the age of ten, eventually studying at one of the country’s most respected art schools.

"My paintings tend to depict scenes of villages, beaches, markets, and African people. Each work is imbued with a sense of tradition and heritage. Nature and all that surrounds me is a neverending source of inspiration," the artist tells us.

Rendering images in oils, acrylics, and watercolors, his pieces have been exhibited in several prestigious galleries throughout Ghana.

"I sign my work as 'Atta Geoman' to emphasize my African origins. 'Atta' means 'twin' in the Akan language."
