New Artworks by Ephrem Solomon
By Africancolours.com

Ethopian artist Ephrem Solomon is inspired by sociopolitical feelings concerning human and natural life. Generally, he believes any life is composed of two colours, black and white.

"Sometimes I paint on themes that reflect my personal life experiences," says Solomon. "Things that happened to me in the past and my future vision. Painting to me is like writing my diary.

"I feel a strong need to make paintings that are unapologetically descriptive of what is immediately around me sometimes: views of the city, the people I know, familiar hallways and spaces, or elements of nature that appeal to me. Other times, my work depicts a different kind of reality; one that is highly fictitious and free of the limitations of the ‘truthful’ recording of my own experiences."
