Inspiration:
One night I wandered into the Arts of Africa, Oceania, and the Americas in The Michael C. Rockefeller Wing, which is on the 1st floor of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. There I was invited to sketch the collections using white drawing paper and charcoal pencils. I was also given a small drawing board, kneaded eraser and little canvas stool to work on. I was taken in by the masks, and the faces of the house posts, fertility totems and tribal masks. I made six drawings from the collection and painted them with watercolors later in my studio.From these studies, I have been creating these highly creative and original modern artworks on canvas. These abstract interpretations would look great in your house.
African masks are considered amongst the finest creations in the art world and are highly sought after by art collectors. Masking ceremonies in Africa have great cultural and traditional significance. Latest developments and understanding of Aesthetic principles, religious and ceremonial values, have brought about a greater insight into the ideas and moral values that African artists express in their art.
