African art is crafted by many different tribal groups expressing their own rich heritage. From the distinctive West African sculptures, Zulu power statues and then to the art influenced by religious affiliations, African art is truely expansive and impressive. In the last century we have seen a great appreciation for the splendor of African Art. It is known that renowned artists such as Picasso and Matisse received their inspiration for many of their most beautiful works of art from viewing African sculptures.  

I have long been amazed by the African carvers amazing skill and craftsmanship. It is most evident in their Masks carvings. Each masks is one of a kind and each carry much symbolic meaning.  The color patterns ways and unusual carvings across the mask are made with purpose and much cultural significance.  On my last trip to West Africa I met a group of carver and and saw their amazing ability first hand. Below you can view the picture of them making their works of art.

The African people have long been admired by for their beautiful and exotic jewelry. The expert African jewelry makers use many different components found in nature and carve out unique cultural pendants for necklaces or earings. Each piece usually has it’s own specific meaning and significance. For example the Egyptian Ankh has been used for centuries and signifies life after death.
