Details

Once a prosperous civilization that throve around present-day Ivory Coast, the splendor of the Baule people has survived the passage of time in the form of stunning artworks that show this culture's relationship with nature. As an homage to their grandeur, Ghanaian artisan Samuel Lovi uses banana leaves to create an exquisite composition, reuniting tradition and beauty in one. Featuring a sepia tone thanks to the natural materials, this wall art portrays a mask made of geometric formations, all framed with an elegant sese wood structure.
