Full Biography - Nana Danso

Nana Danso is a Ghanaian visual artist based in Accra. Working across sculpture, installation, painting, photography, and film, he creates imagined worlds inhabited by recurring figures, symbolic objects, and unseen forces.

His work draws from everyday life, Ghanaian culture, memory, spirituality, dreams, and personal imagination. Through a cast of non-binary characters, he builds narratives that blur the line between the visible and invisible, the familiar and the unknown.

Rather than telling fixed stories, his work invites viewers into spaces where different meanings can exist at the same time. Across his practice, he is interested in how people assign meaning to objects, places, and symbols, and how belief shapes the way we understand the world around us.
