This African tribal paintings was created from studying original African art sculpture at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The tribal wall art has a wonderful abstract quality giving it a modern sophistication. The African artifact was part of a special exhibition titled "Heroic Africans" which takes a look at sculptural traditions from West and Central Africa created between the twelfth and early twentieth centuries.

The dominant colors in these artworks are red, earth tones, yellow and aqua blue.
I made seven drawings from the African Art collection during a visit and painted them with watercolors later in my studio. These abstract interpretations would look great in your house and complement your modern global home decor.

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.

Please note that large painting are difficult to accurately photograph even for seasoned museum professionals and your monitor may also affect your perception of this art. If you are unhappy with the actual colors of the painting for any reason you will get a full refund of the purchase price. In my experience, my collectors have found that the actual artwork nearly always surpasses expectations.
