Fanta Celah’s remarkable journey as a painter began at an early age. Owing to her deep affinity for the Arts, Fanta studied her craft with avid dedication, and sold her first commissioned work by age 15. Shortly thereafter, Fanta became the youngest Chicago based artist on the scene. She is featured in Chicago’s Who’s Who 2009 Edition. She has also garnered a multitude of private commissions and gained a respectable following of art lovers worldwide. Her paintings appeal to the intellectual art lover seeking deeper
meaning, as well as those who are interested in collecting impressionistic work.
Fanta’s compositions range from abstract to portraiture. She especially enjoys painting landscapes and seascapes. Her bold expressive style is reminiscent of Gustav Klimt, and her work has been compared to Monet. Some of her close contemporaries are some of the most acclaimed African artists in the US today, Tafa & Dayo Laoye.
Fanta’s brilliant use of color induces the higher senses. Through her naturalistic work, you can smell the salt water and enjoy the sunrise from the comforts of your living room. Additionally, she has an extraordinary understanding of how to use texture. Her experimentation with materials such as copper achieves a unique, three dimensional affect on canvas.
