Imran Abdul Rahman is a Ghanaian born artist raised in Nima, a suburb of Accra. This is what he had to say when we spoke to him;

  "I was fortunate enough to have completed junior high school considering my background.

I never wasted any time to pursue my dream of becoming a professional artist. All I needed was a pencil. At my early ages I started with drawing on any surface around the house with chalk and charcoal but one day I decided to get  a pencil and start drawing in my exercise book.

 

Immediately fell in love with it and wanted to do it all the time. With every drawing I did, I got a little better.

I developed my own techniques and tricks along the way and I am proud to say that I am completely self-taught.

I got my very first commission work in 2004 and I can now boast of getting commission works from within and outside Ghana. Some of my works have been exhibited at the Rijksmuseum, museum of the Netherlands in Amsterdam

Imran is the lead pencil artist on the TLOTA Portrait Project 2016.

A project that aims at celebrating outstanding Ghanaians influencing society and causing change

He worked on Dr. Randy Osae Badiako, Bernardino Koku Avle amongst others yet to be presented. From TLOTA to Imran we say Ayeko, continue following your Passion and all the best with our PENCIL.
