A work commissioned by a private collector, in honor of Kwaebibiremhene (King of the Dark Lush Forest) Nana Ofori Atta Okyenhene, (1912 to 1943) the late Okyenhene or King of the Akyem people and of Akyem Abuakwa people of Ghana.
The newly finished, 14-foot-long painting, depicts the Okyenhene sitting on his throne, in a lush green forest and surrounded by verdant tropical flowers, depicting the heart of the kingdom is the Atewa Forest Reserve, a globally significant biodiversity area and home to some very rare species of flora and fauna. He is also surrounded by leopards, the totem of the Akyem people.
