I visited Nigeria and was very

impressed by the women.

Unfortunately it was not

possible to take pictures of

them, so I have painted them

from memory, using the

characters and situations that

inspired me.

They dress in a wonderfully

colourful way, and carry their

children throughout the day,

even when working. The

rhythmical sense of their

dancing  fascinated and

captivated me.

I hope to have captured some

of their spirit and joy in my

canvasses.
