About the Item
“Mami Wata” features a powerful portrait of a woman with deep, expressive eyes, each capturing a golden hue that radiates intensity and mystery. Her commanding gaze is complemented by bold, red lips, offering a captivating contrast against her elegantly depicted dark skin. The background presents a vibrant juxtaposition of geometric patterns in rich purple, red, and gold tones, creating an eye-catching tapestry that frames and elevates her presence. The use of shadows and highlights adds depth, emphasizing her strong features and intricate textures. The artwork masterfully blends traditional and modern elements, celebrating cultural richness and individual resilience. The interplay of colours is both harmonious and dynamic, making this piece an evocative exploration of identity and beauty.
Modou Guèye, born on 5 September 1990 in Pikine, Senegal, is a visionary painter who weaves the essence of African cultural heritage with the threads of modernity. His artistic journey, rooted in the vibrant tapestry of his parents’ artistic professions, has evolved into a fascinating exploration of colour, emotion and human connection.
