Prince was a lively child and a great explorer until, what would become a life changing event, happened. He lost one eye sight in an incident.

Growing up, he realized he could only identify the primary and the neutral colors.

“He who stays in the dark see colors” he says.

The inspiration behind his paintings comes from his own experience in relation with music and nature. Amanfo likes to symbolize & represent music as invisible lines formed by melody, rhythms, and beats. Lines that our ears transmit within our bodies, the invisible becoming visible. Each line being unique, having its own role, its own acoustic.
