By Braïma Enjaï, 2020

This piece evokes for me an imaginary landscape of white petals on a blue-yellow background on which appears a black face on the transparent water. My palette is enriched with colors born from pure pigments and a varied practice to produce a sensual effect of warm and expressive beauty.

If I practice figurative painting in a personal way, I also explore more abstract representations in complete freedom with color palettes of blue, ultramarine, sienna, ochre, reflecting with intensity the two cultures within which I evolve.
