Parcours des mondes

Dans les années 50, au Sud du Sénégal, Seyni Awa Camara initiée à la poterie par sa mère aurait disparu en forêt et réapparu une statuette de terre dans les bras. Seyni dit avoir reçu ce don lors d’une expérience mystique. Dès lors elle crée des sculptures anthropomorphiques fascinantes.

Dans le même temps Estevão Mucavele travaille à la mine à Capetown. De retour à Maputo il traverse désert, canyons, paysages aux formes naturelles, bleu, rose, orange au gré de la lumière écrasante. Il peint ces paysages immobiles silencieux, hostiles, abstraits.

Camara, Mucavele sont des artistes hors normes qui nous plongent au cœur des mystères du monde, hors du temps.

In the 1950s, in southern Senegal, Seyni Awa Camara was introduced to pottery by her mother. As the story goes, she once vanished into the forest and reappeared days later, holding a clay figurine in her arms. Seyni claims to have received her gift during a mystical experience. Since then, she has created captivating anthropomorphic sculptures that seem to bridge the visible and the invisible.

Around the same time, Estevão Mucavele was working in the mines of Cape Town. Upon returning to Maputo, he began traveling across deserts and canyons—landscapes shaped by nature and drenched in overwhelming light, shifting between blue, pink, and orange hues. He paints these still, silent, and often hostile scenes as if they were abstract visions suspended in time.

Camara and Mucavele are extraordinary, singular artists whose work invites us into the mysteries of the world—beyond logic, beyond time.
