The Noldor Residency welcomes 2022 Senior Fellow Maku Azu
We would like to introduce our new Senior Fellow for 2022, Maku Azu. Maku is a Ghanaian African Contemporary Artist based in Thailand. She is best known for her emotive and jarring portraits made from unconventional materials, such as heavily textured construction materials, spray-paints, rubbed off acrylics and found metals; there are no boundaries. After studying International Business Management, she made a drastic decision to follow the path truest to herself, Art. She is passionate about expressing deep and emotive psychological states in her work.
Maku as a multidisciplinary artist is additionally a sculptor, who enjoys creating sensually engaging, organic, semi abstracted forms. With every piece she creates, she hopes to inspire a private and sacred space, where she connects with each viewer mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
