Many visual artists have a signature style， as unique and identifiable as a fingerprint.For Amoako Boafo， who often paints with his fingers， this seems doubly true.His distinctive paint strokes （笔画） combine the complex skin tones of his chosen subjects， many of whom are， like himself， Africans with global life experiences.
Boafo， whose first solo museum exhibition was held at the Seattle Art Museum， was born and raised in Accra， Ghana， and moved to Vienna， Austria in 2014， where he ran into difficulties， with galleries unwilling to show his works due to his focus on black figures.He continued making an effort to create self-portraits （自画像） and portraits of people he knew or admired—African people and black people who have African ancestry.He also developed his standout approach to figurative painting， which combines areas of bold and flat color with his soft finger painting.
He began posting his art online and caught the attention of artists like Kehinde Wiley， the celebrated American artist.The word started to spread.
Boafo is now a global art star， with numerous shows at galleries and art fairs， working with fashion house Dior， and several of his paintings sold for over a million dollars.In 2021， with three of his paintings being launched into space by Blue Origin， Jeff Bezos’ Kent-based spaceflight company， you might even say Boafo has rocketed to success.
And yet a recent phone conversation with the artist from his studio in Accra， which is once again his home base， revealed a well-mannered person who appreciated his success while pointing out all of the“luck and preparation” that led to it.Seeing so many of his paintings—created from 2016 to 2022—gathered together in an exhibition has helped him remember that “I did not ‘just happen’.I did not expect this success but I was hopeful and ready for it.”

“The mountains are calling and I must go”—the famous quote is from John Muir （1838－1914）， who is described as “the wilderness poet” and “the citizen of the universe”.He once jokingly referred to himself as a “poet-geologist-botanist and ornithologist （鸟类学家）-naturalist etc.etc.！” He is known as the Father of American National Parks.

Yosemite Valley
Dear sister Sarah，
I have just returned from the longest and hardest trip I have ever made in the mountains， having been gone over five weeks.I am weary， but resting fast； sleepy， but sleeping deep and fast； hungry， but eating much.For two weeks I explored the glaciers of the summits east of here， sleeping among the snowy mountains without blankets and with little to eat on account of its being so inaccessible.After my icy experiences， it seems strange to be down here in so warm and flowery a climate.
I will soon be off again， determined to use all the season in carrying through my work—will go next to Kings River a hundred miles south， then to Lake Tahoe and surrounding mountains， and in winter work in Oakland with my pen.
Though slow， someday I will have the results of my mountain studies in a form in which you all will be able to read and judge them.The mountains are calling and I must go， and I will work on while I can， studying incessantly （不停地）.
I will write again when I return from Kings River Canyon.
Farewell， with love everlasting.
Yours，

Many visual artists have a signature style， as unique and

many of whom are， like himself， Africans with global life

Boafo， whose first solo museum exhibition was held at the
Seattle Art Museum， was born and raised in Accra， Ghana， and
moved to Vienna， Austria in 2014， where he ran into difficulties，
with galleries unwilling to show his works due to his focus on black
figures.He continued making an effort to create self-portraits （自画
像） and portraits of people he knew or admired—African people and
black people who have African ancestry.He also developed his
standout approach to figurative painting， which combines areas of
bold and flat color with his soft finger painting.
He began posting his art online and caught the attention of artists
like Kehinde Wiley， the celebrated American artist.The word started
to spread.
Boafo is now a global art star， with numerous shows at galleries
and art fairs， working with fashion house Dior， and several of his
paintings sold for over a million dollars.In 2021， with three of his
paintings being launched into space by Blue Origin， Jeff Bezos’
