A language of his own
Painting is how Amoako speaks
Largely nonverbal, Amoako Buachie has found powerful forms of expression through painting, drawing, music and song. From the cartoons he began drawing as a child to portraits, landscapes and vividly imagined compositions, art has given him a language uniquely his own.
His work has taken him from school art competitions in New York City to national exhibitions and gatherings celebrating extraordinary artistic ability — and to a body of work now spanning more than two decades.
The Wandering Palette
“Presenting a visual journey of the mind, across changing landscapes and portraits in quiet moments of the artist’s solitude.”
Opening reception: 24 September 2026, 5–9 pm
My Time, Inc. · 640 Parkside Avenue, Suite 502, Brooklyn, NY 11226
“I like drawing very much. It’s my favorite.”
Beyond the canvas
Painting. Drawing. Piano. Singing. Movement.
Amoako plays piano and takes lessons at the Brooklyn Conservatory of Music, sings at karaoke every week, and explores movement through dance at the Mark Morris Dance Center. For someone who does not always communicate easily through spoken language, creativity has given him many other ways to be heard.
