Abena Oyiwaa (b. Angelina Asomaning Ampofo) is a self-taught Ghanaian visual artist based in Accra. Working primarily in oil paint, she describes her style as Afro-Fem Surrealism, a visual language that explores the inner lives of African women and reframes vulnerability as strength.

Her work draws on stories of growth, wellness and the expectations placed on women, using surrealist expression to challenge and reimagine them. In 2024 she received the inaugural MenstruART Prize from Amnesty International Ghana, recognising artists addressing womanhood and bodily autonomy.

Her paintings have been exhibited in Accra, Athens and New York, and she has been described as Ghana’s Frida Kahlo for her bold storytelling and deeply personal approach to art.
