Screen Nation caught up with Adelaide Damoah – artist, entrepreneur and all-round goddess.

Adelaide Damoah is actually incredible, and so is her work. The self taught artist made her debut exhibition ‘Black Brits’ in 2006 and has now set up her own company – Damoah Arts, which represents independent artists.

Who/what are your influences/inspirations?

I first became passionate about art during my secondary school years when I studied the life and art of Mexican artist Frieda Khalo. Her work was so deeply personal and autobiographical that I could not help but be drawn in and her way of drawing inspiration from her own life was the catalyst that got me moving in the same direction. My work is inspired by my physical and emotional pain, with each painting telling a story. I am also inspired by my own life experiences along with issues which affect the society in which we live.
