Wooden fish - Bozo – Mali

This wooden sculpture is inspired by the art of the Bozo people, a community established along the Niger River in Mali. Often called the "masters of the river", the Bozo are traditionally linked to fishing and navigation. Their artistic production draws largely on aquatic worlds, giving rise to representations of animals and shapes evocative of the richness of their natural environment. These creations bear witness to artisanal know-how deeply rooted in their culture.

Carved from wood, this fish features flowing lines and balanced volumes that highlight its slender silhouette. The carefully worked details emphasize the decorative character of the piece, while the simplicity of its form gives it great visual strength. Evoking the close bond between the Bozo people and the Niger River, this sculpture constitutes an expressive decorative element that integrates harmoniously into a contemporary aesthetic.
