"Liberte (Liberty)" Original Acrylic Painting by Senegal Painter Awa Ndiaye, Contemporary Emerging African Art, Woman Artist

This is by Senegalese painter Awa Ndiaye.  Multiple expositions in Senegal and Europe.

 "I paint on the theme of the woman tied to the child, on different subjects.  I am inspired by myself as a woman, educator, and mother.  I was also raised by an adoptive aunt from the age of two.  I knew my mother at the age of 15.  I was born into a non-artist family.  I love art; it is my passion.

I paint several subjects, like motherly love, sexual mutilation, street children, and surrogate and adoptive mothers.  I prefer this latter subject.  The adoptive mother is the one who carries, educates and considers a child as their own.  So it is a real mother for me."
