Paul Ahyi

Other outdoor sculptures and statues by Ahyi can be found on buildings and in parks throughout Togo, as well as the Vatican, Senegal, Benin, Côte d'Ivoire, Nigeria and South Korea.

[3] He graduated from the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts[2] in Paris in 1959 and returned to Togo, which was called French Togoland prior to independence.

Ahyi was commissioned to design the flag of the new nation of Togo,[3] which achieved independence from France on April 27, 1960.

[4] Ahyi added a white star, similar to the Liberian flag, representing light, intelligence and peace.

[5] Ahyi's reliefs and sculptures have been installed and displayed at the United Nations in New York City, as well as Canada, South Korea, West Africa, Italy, Japan, and Paris, France.
