Bondo Masquerade (Devil) and Sampa

Meaning of the painting:  A normal culture in Sierra Leone mostly performed by the Temenes ( my tribe) alongside the Sampa dancing whilst playing shekere besides the masquerade. This masquerade performers are earthly manifestations of spirits whether of ancestors or forces of nature. They come with different characteristics some are fierce while others are motherly and fun to be around . They play important roles like initiation into adulthood or passing to ancestorhood so as an African. I believe in culture and keeping in touch with our ancestors. This painting is a manifestation of that

Mama Salone the Land of Bounty and Heritage

Meaning of the Painting:

In Mama salone land of bounty and heritage In Sierra’s embrace, the earth’s treasure lies,
A canvas adorned with minerals, a nation that defies.
Beneath the sun’s warm glow, diamonds gleam,
In the heart of the land, dreams and hopes team.
Emerald mountains stand tall and proud,
Whispers of gold in rivers, stories told aloud.
With every sunrise, a symphony of hues,
Echoes of resilience, an anthem that renews.
Yet ’tis not just in riches, Sierra’s true worth,
But in the souls that grace its diverse birth.
A tapestry woven with cultures, vibrant and bright,
A testament to unity, love’s eternal light.
The laughter of children, their joyous song,
Echoes across valleys, where dreams belong.
In their smiles, the nation finds its strength,
A resilient spirit, spanning any length.
Sierra Leone, a land so rich and fair,
Your beauty and bounty beyond compare.
In your embrace, dreams find their home,
A legacy of love, for generations to come.
