Hilton Korley Boye

Hilton Korley Boye is a Ghanaian painter based in Accra whose work   moves between impressionism and expressionism to portray everyday West   African life and interior states of contemplation. His paintings often centre   on market scenes, motherhood, township and coastal vistas, and reflective   portraiture. Notable works include Meditation   Realm, a contemplative figure rendered in purples and browns with a   dissolving, gestural surface; it has been distributed by Black Art Depot and   fine-art print platforms.

Boye’s market and township scenes, women carrying water, vendors at   Accra’s second-hand clothing stalls, and rain-slick streets, employ thick   impasto and broken colour to suggest movement, heat, and communal rhythm.

Across portrait and landscape formats, Boye’s language blends gestural   brushwork, earthy and muted palettes punctuated by saturated accents, and   compositional cropping that foregrounds figures in motion. The results evoke   resilience, labour, and quiet reflection within Ghanaian social life.
