Sokoni

“Sokoni” in Kiswahili means “At the market”. A moment in an African market where a painting can bring back all the colors, with their shades, lights, reflections, and looks. A painting cannot convey the scents and smells, noises, and voices of an intense day made of pleasant confusion and absurd organization in the most unlikely chaos.

Do not close your eyes, but observe and imagine how in a world of disorder, dust, and cobwebs there can be a fascinating order. It all depends on what you want to see.

Technique: acrylic on canvas.
Canvas: 50cm x 80cm, cotton 100%.
