Forgotten Gold is a tribute to what was hidden, undervalued, and exploited – yet never lost.

The figures portrayed carry upon their bodies the gleam of a wealth the world refused to see: not the gold extracted from the earth, but the kind cultivated in skin, in hair, in gesture, in silence. An inheritance that does not shimmer in museums or in market prices, yet has sustained entire identities for centuries.

This painting speaks of a value plundered without ever being understood.
It speaks of a continent labelled “black” when what it offered was light.
It speaks of traditions the world dismissed as backward, when in truth they were science, spirituality, cosmology.

The gold is here – visible to those who dare to look beyond the colonial lens.
