About this Room
We explore the depths of the human condition through works that reflect social and cultural realities. Each portrait captures not only the visual essence of the subject, but also a broader narrative that questions the individual's place in society. The artists represented here tackle themes such as identity, community connection and the role of cultural traditions in the modern world.
Fragmentation and
Reconstruction of Reality
About this Room
Kabú's artworks present an innovative approach to the fragmentation of form and the multiplicity of perspectives. By exploring themes that cross time and the human condition, these pieces delve into the past, present and future, reflecting on universal issues such as death, the cycles of life and the complexity of social relationships. Through cubist fragmentation, the works reveal the hidden layers of human experience, highlighting the interconnection between dreams, prayer, love and life.
About this Room
We explore the encounter between surrealism and figurativism by delving into the human unconscious and contemporary social dynamics. The works reveal the internal struggle for self-knowledge and freedom of expression, highlighting the power of the mind and constant social vigilance. Inspired by philosophical themes and spiritual transformation, the artists invite introspection and relaxation. “Banzelo” reminds us that sometimes life needs to be lived with simplicity and acceptance, without looking for meaning in everything.
Raw Emotion and
The Expressiveness of Color
About this Room
Neo Expressionism emerges as an emotional response to the world, where personal experiences are translated rawly and intensely onto the canvas. Each piece challenges the viewer to feel, rather than simply observe. Through distorted figures, the artist evokes feelings of pain, resilience, love and hope. This movement, with its bold colors and exaggerated shapes, aims to break with the conventional by bringing subjectivity and personal experience to the center of artistic creation.
Vibrant Colors and
Everyday Narratives
About this Room
Pop Art is explored here with intense colors and everyday symbols. One work depicts a child's natural imitation of a parrot, highlighting learning by repetition. The other celebrates the ancestral use of the head as a cultural symbol, present in rituals and festivities. Both use Pop Art's characteristic aesthetic to transform the ordinary into something visually striking.
Cultural Heritage and
Human Relations
About this Room
We explore works that blend the abstract with cultural and emotional themes, which bring to light the complexities of identity, connection and the essence of the human experience. The artist draws on traditional symbols, family ties and collective emotions to create pieces that speak to the heart and mind, that push the boundaries of form and narrative in contemporary African art.
