MINA (Wilhelmina)

Graduated with a BA (Hons) in Fine Art from Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Kumasi, Ghana, in 1988. After relocating to the United Kingdom and building a professional career as an Employment Coach and Career Adviser, MINA returned to painting in 2021 while living in New Delhi, India. She studied at the Delhi Collage of Art, graduating with a Super Professional Fine Art Diploma in 2022.

My work explores the relationship between heritage, memory, architecture, and light. I am inspired by the way monuments and landscapes continue to carry the spirit of history into the present day.

Through acrylic painting, I aim to capture not only the physical beauty of a place, but also its atmosphere, emotion, and cultural significance. Many of my works are influenced by my experiences in India, the Middle East, Africa, and other international locations where architecture and landscape exist as living records of time.

I am particularly drawn to reflections, sunlight, water, and changing skies, using colour and luminosity to create a sense of serenity, wonder, and timelessness. More recently, I have developed a visual language incorporating national colours and symbolic skies to express identity, pride, and cultural continuity.
