Ahbeng is a painter, cartoonist, and former broadcaster and teacher.
“Painting is a way of expressing my feelings. I like to paint good things that give viewers a good feeling, and make them think and feel rejuvenated.
“I paint subjects that are close to my heart — nature and landscapes. Unlike people, they’re silent and don’t criticise,” Ahbeng said with a laugh.
LOOK carefully at Raphael Scott Ahbeng’s paintings and one notices that red is used in all of them — whether all over or just a dash.
“I like red. It gives a lot of warmth and is easy to make friends with other colours,” said the 70-year-old.
“I also do ceramic works and photography. All these keep me occupied and it’s great fun doing them every day.”
A few of his artworks have been successfully auctioned overseas, an achievement he is proud of and spurs him to continue painting while making new discoveries.
