Samuel Oseigyei Kumah was born at Ridge Hospital located in Greater Accra on the 10th of September, 1988. He is the firstborn among four siblings; three boys and a girl. I come from Ketekra-chi in the Oti region but lived and grew up in Nima located in Greater Accra. He had both his elementary and junior high education at 37 Military Basic School and enrolled in Ghanatta College of Arts and Design where he polished his talent as an artist.
Samuel discovered his talent at age 8 while in elementary school but his parents especially his mother disagreed with me choosing to become an artist because she felt it was not a well-paying profession. But with his grandmother behind him, he managed to pursue it. He worked as an apprentice under three different masters in the quest for skills and experience to be able to fit in the job market. In 2012, he started working as
a full-time versatile artist with the name Big Sam Arts. Due to how beautiful and quality his works are, he has been able to receive certificates and awards both internationally and locally.
ARTIST STATEMENT
I am an artist who uses the color blue in my paintings of human figures to bridge the gap between different skin tones. I believe that the color blue is a universal color that can represent all people, regardless of their race or ethnicity. By choosing to paint my figures in blue, I am creating a visual representation of unity and harmony. I hope that my work can help to promote a more inclusive and accepting society.
My artworks also aim to solve problems worldwide which include love, sadness, and happiness, and preach peace. I am inspired by the challenges that people face around the world, and I want my work to be a force for positive change. I believe that art can be used to raise awareness of important issues, and I hope that my work can help to make a difference in the world.
I am also committed to disregarding racism and encouraging oneness. I believe that we are all human beings, and we should treat each other with respect and compassion. I hope that my work can help to create a more just and equitable world.
