    Samuel Akainyah is a remarkable artist. I own a few pieces and have encouraged others to buy his works in Atlanta. His art speaks like poetry. I have been trying to find "Sudden emotion" without luck. His talented is captivating as is he as he expresses the feelings that he reflects on the canvas.

    My experience with Mr. Akainyah is definitely a memorable one, I had been searching for his work for approx. 2yrs, and my search was not in vain. A friend of mine who lives in Chicago was able to locate a phone number for me, and I never stop trying to reach him, until one day I called and he answered to phone. I was so elated that I finally got a chance to speak to Mr. Akainyah, I felt as though we had been friends for many years. As a result of that phone call I purchased several of his pieces. "The Tribute'', "From Whence We Came'', "Love'', & "Sisters''. I have however since that conversation been trying to get "Bequeating The Nation'', has anybody seen that piece? It is so.... deep. The man is so divinely talented. Mr. Akainyah is a very busy man, and highly admired by many. The last information I recieved was that he teaches at one of the Universities in Chicago. So, don't give up on trying to locate him, I haven't, he is worth the search.

    The work of Mr. Akainyah reflects a genius that only a gift from God could influence his brush strokes to achieve. His art takes one's eyes on a journey in several directions, while causing a calm to fall upon the mind as you are drawn into its beauty.

    I have recently purchased a painting by Mr. Akainyah. We have just moved into a fabulous new home in St. Charles that seems to have been originally designed to be an "art home." We have covered most available spaces with the art my wife and I have collected over the past thirty years. However, Mr. Akainyah's piece seems to spiritually and immediately upstage everything and mesmerizes all who enter our home. It captivates. It enlivens. The painting commands attention with the same power and enigmatic softness that Mr. Akainyah does in his person. Meeting Mr. Akainyah and purchasing one of his paintings have wonderfully changed my life in delightful and beautiful ways.

    I hav epurchase a painting from My Akainyah and getting delievery was like pulling teeth. He is a great, great painter but needs to acknowledge that he has a responsibility to available to clients and admirers of his work.

    I have been trying to reach Mr. Akainyah at his gallery but the voicemailbox there is always full. Is this gallery still a going concern? We are friends (and fans) of Mr. Akainyah and would like to reach him.
