Description from the seller

Bronze statue - Dogon – Mali

This bronze sculpture draws inspiration from the art of the Dogon people, mainly established in the Bandiagara Cliff region in Mali. Renowned for the richness of its sculptural heritage, Dogon art is distinguished by stylized forms, strong expressiveness, and great symbolic power. In this interpretation, the influence of Giacometti's sculptural language is reflected in a slender silhouette and a pursuit of verticality, creating a dialogue between African heritage and artistic vision.

Made in bronze, this statue features an elongated figure with pared-down volumes, where the lines seem stretched and directed upward. The deliberately understated treatment of details enhances the impact of the posture and the presence of the work. The overall impression is one of inner movement and poetic tension, reinforced by the finesse of the composition. Both decorative and expressive, this piece naturally fits into an art collection or into an interior that favors a contemporary aesthetic.
