About The Artwork

mother place inside traditional african society: give a live, protection.... Beauty celebration in african society:scarification The woman will be by her function for life, redemption through trial. The woman represents the stage where the human being becomes person in relation to nature, the moment of the personalization of man at the level of nature. At a more immediate level, and found in all civilizations, the woman appears as an expression of beauty. Some may say that it is a standard of beauty for the realities of nature. The ornament is probably made to adorn it, but it is still the woman that adornment draws its reason to be beautiful. Decorative motifs called according to the ethnic groups "edges of poison, back of turtle" ... By their arrangement, these lines are also closer to what is noble, what is beautiful. But the Bantu abstraction, beyond this phenomenon of the beautiful will retain the slow and serious silhouette of the turtle, the mobility and sliding of the fish. The grave and slow step of the turtle is compared to the majestic grace of the matrons: to learn to walk with ease or nobility in my ethnic group, for example, girls are taught songs and turtle dancing. The "turtle" motif moves from graphic rhythm to melodic rhythm and beyond to dance, thus investing all expressions of art: The symbol is a whole that cannot be decompose The other face of the feminine dimension is fertility. The feminine universe will influence a whole part of African art through this vital function. Decorative patterns such as geometric figures such as triangles and diamonds, spiral and circle or lunar crescent are essentially female symbols. Limited Edition 1 of

Anthropologist PhD, Adviser approved in traditional Bantu Art, graduated from Academy of Fine Arts, Professor of schools and colleges, cultural Manager."¢ Lecturer in Anthropology Consultant for purchase at the Museum of Arts and Traditions of Gabon (project design studies and evaluations of projects), ARTIST PROFILE Our works are part of a practice of anthropology: conception of the Universe or cosmos in Black Africa societies (animist cultures). The belief that nothing is inanimate, the world being a great living entity. Our universe is not only inhabited or populated by spirits, it has a soul that we could call "cosmic soul": All beings are united and part of that soul. Thanks to this unique order of things, man is also the parent of the spirits as the parent of the animal, plant and mineral world. All these entities being linked in a system whose engine is energy, power. The distributions or redistribution of these forces being the basis of myths and interpretations of phenomena the universe: The Totem, the twins, the birth, the trances, the death, the sickness, all these social residues of fear that are at the origin of African beliefs. All this gives a special place to art in these societies: work of the spirit, tool of social regulation, instrument for reaching the sacred we use the bronze, the wood, the terracotta in our sculptures to translate the Construction of the imaginary in traditional Africa: Art in animist societies where the prehistoric links between art and magic has never been broken. We inspire African myths: The cosmos, the ontological structure of human, these relationships with the universe in a system of energy movements, power or force.
