​True Friends: Featuring artwork by Scott Achankeng

​Scott Achankeng is a young artist from Cameroon (West Africa) based in the United States (Gainesville GA), who has completed Courses in Fine Art (visual and contemporary) who has mastery in portraiture and landscape. He has paved his way into getting a smooth understanding in different medium, with a good sense and love in oils, acrylics, pastels, chalk and aquarelles. This tedious art experiment from the genesis of his artistic career, has only led him into a light and fountain of his own master pieces by captivating object both seen and unseen, with unusual color texture, layers and perspective.
 
Due to his highly driven artistic vision, Scott has traveled a long way living behind his entire family, friends and love ones, just so he can further pursue his goals and aspirations bringing them to lamplight; but with a greater aim to share with the world what is burning of him.
