SCULPTURES

Symbolism: African sculptures are not simply decorative; they often have religious, spiritual or social significance. They can represent ancestors, spirits or deities.

Stylization: Unlike Western artistic traditions which aim for realism, African art often favors the exaggeration of shapes and the stylization of features to express abstract ideas (power, wisdom, fertility, etc.).

Ritual function: Many sculptures are used in ceremonies (initiation, funerals, ancestor worship, healing, etc.).
JEWELRY

African jewelry is more than just an ornament. It carries a rich history, deep symbolism, and is a testament to the continent’s ancestral craftsmanship.

Each region, ethnic group, and even each piece of jewelry has a specific meaning, ranging from spiritual protection to social status.

They have served to express cultural identity, spirituality, and power. In some cultures, they mark important life milestones such as marriage, initiation, or motherhood.
ART PHOTOGRAPHY

Fine art photography is a form of visual expression where the artist uses the camera to convey a personal vision, emotion, or message.

Unlike documentary or commercial photography, which often focuses on objectivity or selling products, fine art photography is primarily an exploration of creativity, composition, light, and sometimes philosophical or poetic concepts.
