"Africa" Original Artwork

“Africa” is a vibrant acrylic and mixed media painting that encapsulates the multifaceted essence of growing up in the Congo RDC. Richly infused with color and gold, the artwork reflects a childhood filled with both joyful memories and remarkable challenges. The palette bursts with lively hues, celebrating the beauty of life, nature, and perseverance. Yet beneath this joyful surface lies an undercurrent of the horrors experienced, serving as a poignant reminder of a past that shaped an identity. This piece invites viewers to experience the juxtaposition of brightness and darkness, illustrating how one can hold onto the light while acknowledging the shadows of life. “Africa” is not just a memoir on canvas; it is a testament to survival, hope, and the enduring power of memory. By Artist Séverine Rigaud.
