Prince Gyasi Nyantakyi (1995) also known by the artist name Prince Gyasi is a Ghanaian international visual artist. He had his secondary education at the Accra Academy senior high school in Accra, and started taking pictures in 2011. Prince bought his first iPhone in 2014 which is the primary tool he uses in creating his art pieces. He began with snapshots of friends, family and models from his hometown of Ghana and then realized he could seriously use his phone as an arts creation tool, as a means of expression.He using an iPhone to shoot is a way to distinguish his art from other visual artists and photographers to break the codes of this singular and elitist art. His work is all about conveying feelings through colors and giving the floor to the people that are left aside from the society. He indeed considers his use of colors as a source of therapy to his audience. Motherhood, Fatherhood, childhood can be considered as his most characteristic themes.Prince is the co-founder of Boxedkids, a non-profit organization helping kids from Accra get an education.
