Each piece in our collection is a dialogue between the past and present, a tribute to the timeless creativity that defines African art.

TESTIMONIALS

El Anatsui

Ghanaian sculptor and installation artist, contemporary/abstract

 

El Anatsui’s work transforms discarded materials into dazzling tapestries, challenging perceptions of waste, value, and African identity.

Art is not a mirror to reflect reality, but a hammer with which to shape it.

Wangechi Mutu

Kenyan visual artist, multimedia/figurative surrealism

 

Mutu blends the female form, myth, and nature to challenge colonial histories and explore African womanhood.

When you look at my paintings, you are looking at my dreams.

Wassily Kandinsky

Russian painter, pioneer of abstract art

 

Kandinsky believed in the spiritual nature of art and is widely regarded as one of the first abstract artists.

Colour is a power which directly influences the soul

Henry Ward Beecher

American clergyman and speaker, quoted often in relation to romantic and realist art movements

 

This timeless quote captures the emotional essence behind artistic expression.

Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures.
