When George Obeng observes the world around him, he sees it through the eyes of an artist. This creative individual recognizes the inherent beauty in everyday visions of the people and wildlife that surround him and recreates these scenes with respect for nature in unpolished ebony.
Though he spent much of his youth training to become a master printer at the behest of his elders, Obeng felt compelled to abandon this path and pursue his passion for carving. His unfaltering resolution has gained him success with numerous exhibitions and awards, and this gifted artisan now runs his own fair trade workshop. You can find Obeng’s stunning collection of intricate statuettes at Novica.
