Achu was born in Cameroon, West Africa. She and her family immigrated to London, where she lived for many years. Today, she has studios in Cameroon, the UK, and the USA. She picked up her first paint brush at a tender age of 9, experimenting with several mediums including oils, acrylics, watercolour, mix media, etc. Today, her chosen preferred mediums are acrylics and oils. Achu’s art comes from everyday, unsurprising yet unexpectedly vivid moments, times, places and objects. She seeks to capture the spirit of her subjects and make them come alive through form, colour, texture and tone. She draws insight from her travels but in general, her inspiration is very broad; from natural moments captured in Africa to still objects, from the human form to the human in action. The eternal optimist, Achu sees beauty in almost anything and everything. She finds beauty where there is normalcy, and she sees colour through shades of grey. She therefore draws from this distinctively beautiful World of hers and aims to evoke an emotion which translates into images of delight or surprise, with the sole objective of capturing the soul of the subject. There is also a contrasting and contradictory side to Achu’s ‘Beautiful’ World. Paintings of animal hearts have only led to her being called morbid, dark, and even confused?! And her love for painting raw meat and the naked human flesh is one to be interrogated.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

To create an original print, the artist inks the surface and presses it onto paper. Printmaking is the process of printing artworks Usually on paper but also fabric, wood, metal and other surfaces. ... Except for monotyping, all printing processes can produce identical multiples from the same artwork. The works thus produced are called prints or "impressions".

Achu is a contemporary artist originally from Cameroon, West Africa. She immigrated to London with her family, where she spent many years before establishing studios in Cameroon, the UK, and the USA. Her artistic journey began at the tender age of nine when she picked up her first paintbrush, experimenting with various mediums such as oils, acrylics, watercolors, and mixed media. Today, her preferred mediums are acrylics and oils.

Achu's art is inspired by everyday moments that are often overlooked yet unexpectedly vivid. She aims to capture the spirit of her subjects, bringing them to life through form, color, texture, and tone. Drawing insight from her travels, her inspiration is vast, encompassing natural scenes from Africa, still objects, and the human form in action. An eternal optimist, Achu finds beauty in the mundane and sees color in shades of gray, translating her distinct perspective into evocative imagery.

While her work typically celebrates beauty, it also explores contrasting themes. For instance, her paintings of animal hearts have led to interpretations of her work as morbid or dark, prompting discussions about her choices to depict raw meat and the naked human form. Through this juxtaposition of beauty and darkness, Achu seeks to provoke emotion and reflection, aiming to capture the soul of her subjects in a way that evokes delight or surprise. Her art ultimately invites viewers to engage with the complexities of life and beauty in all its forms.
