SELIM AYER

Digital artist

GHANA

Selim Ayer (Seligrey) is a visionary Ghanaian digital collage artist who is redefining how African stories are told and celebrated. Rooted in the rich traditions of Afrofuturism and Afro-Surrealism, Selim’s work is a bold exploration of the intersection between African heritage and the limitless possibilities of the future. With his vibrant and thought-provoking creations, he crafts visual narratives that challenge conventional ideas of identity, culture, and progress, inviting viewers to reimagine their place in the world.

Selim’s art draws deeply from African history, folklore, and aesthetics, which he skillfully merges with futuristic and surreal elements. Using digital tools as his medium, he manipulates photographs, textures, and designs to blend tradition with innovation, creating pieces that are as timeless as they are forward-looking. Each of his works is a statement of resilience, creativity, and vision—encouraging a dialogue that bridges the past, present, and future.

At the heart of Selim’s practice is a commitment to empowerment. His art serves as a reminder of the boundless potential that lies within individuals and communities. By showcasing African imagery in futuristic contexts, he offers a bold counter-narrative that celebrates the continent's ingenuity and reclaims its narrative from stereotypes and limitations. Through his work, Selim hopes to inspire pride in one’s roots and confidence in one’s ability to shape the future.

Selim Ayer sees the future as an open canvas—one where creativity, culture, and innovation converge. His goal is to empower others to embrace their potential and take an active role in designing a brighter, more inclusive future. His art doesn’t just decorate walls; it ignites conversations and motivates action. With every piece, he invites viewers to dream bigger, think differently, and remember that we are all artists of our own destinies.
