I just want to express myself, through what I live and feel in my family, in society and in the world.

My piece represents the union of 3 people and it symbolizes a physical and mental liberation. When positive energies agree to converge towards the same goal, this one in all logic rises. Only the union can lead us to peace during the difficult moments.

PRESENTATION OF THE ARTIST

The Burkinabé artist from Ouagadougou Moussa Sawadogo, named Moussblack, followed a training on metals at the Olorun Foundation (2004-2005) and was introduced to woodworking from 2006 to 2008 at the Farafkan design workshop. He then refined his technique during workshops in Africa and Germany and knows how to combine wood with iron and other recycled materials to give shape to sculptures imbued with realism. A painter and also a designer, he creates paintings and uses natural materials, concrete iron, annealed wire, sheet metal and so many objects diverted from their use.

His themes are peace, the fragility of life, the evils of consumer society, women, and the protection of animals. The artist wants to express, through his creations, joy, peace, happiness, sadness, fear, anxiety, hope and despair.
