This painting is a strong representation of my vision of black Africa, in nearly monochrom black colour with few colors representing African necklaces and artifacts.
"This painting has something very strong about African cult native people with a strong graphic finition defining genuine African Africana.and at the end I saw a resemblance of my vision with Bernard Buffet why the title".
At the time that I worked on cult paintings mostly North America and Canada, I loved the art of Indians from orthodox America, specially their ancestral carved wooden poles and paintings so I did this painting to represent my vision of their rich culture.
"South African tribe that I had seen a movie when I was very young and the name Zulu had been carved on my brain for eternity so I made this painting".
