James Mishio (b. 1997) is a Ghanaian visual artist known for experimenting with various media and materials. He primarily creates portraits and figurative compositions.

The artist often employs the impasto technique, using a palette knife to combine oil, acrylic, pastel, and fabric on canvas. This approach emphasizes the value of African identity and the history embedded in the skin tones of the figures in his works. The incorporation of used clothing symbolizes the idea of “life after death” – extending the lifespan of material beyond its original function.

Mishio’s works are held in numerous private collections and have been featured in major exhibitions, including “Bird of a Feather” organized by Phillips Auction House and Artemartis, as well as in galleries such as Coningsby Gallery in London.
