Wooden fish - Bozo – Mali

This wooden sculpture is inspired by the art of the Bozo people, a community settled 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 the aquatic universe, giving rise to representations of animals and shapes that evoke the richness of their natural environment. These creations testify to a craft knowledge deeply rooted in their culture.

Carved in 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 connection between the Bozo people and the Niger River, this sculpture constitutes an expressive decorative element that integrates harmoniously into a contemporary aesthetic.
