African Art Speaks ​
​
Bringing art from Africa directly to you
​
The art of Africa is a treasure trove of rich imagery and vibrant expressions, reflecting the diverse cultures and experiences of the continent. It beckons viewers to immerse themselves in the love and beauty that the artists pour into their creations. Across Africa, artists masterfully paint, weave, sculpt, and shape their work, infusing it with the essence of their culture.
​
However, many travelers from the West only scratch the surface of Africa's artistic richness, often limited to well-known museums or commercially successful artists. They miss the chance to discover the hidden gems found in the small villages and countryside, where immensely talented artists thrive, but their works often remain unseen by the wider world.
As passionate art enthusiasts from all corners of the globe, we founded African Art Speaks—an online gallery with a mission to bring the captivating art of these lesser-known African artists to the eyes of the world. Our platform serves as a home for the work of dedicated artists, open to all who wish to experience the heart and soul of African art.
At African Art Speaks, we are committed to showcasing an extensive range of artistic expressions, including abstract paintings, sculptures, fabrics, masks, weavings, basketry, pottery, beading, musical instruments, and jewelry. Each piece carries the spirit of its creator, bridging the gap between continents and cultures.
Our gallery is not just a place to admire art; it is a portal to connect with the stories and emotions embedded within each artwork. We invite you to explore our collection, allowing these masterpieces to evoke a sense of wonder, appreciation, and understanding for Africa's artistic heritage.
As we continue our journey, we strive to add more talented artists and expand the array of art forms represented on our platform. Every visit to African Art Speaks contributes to supporting the artists and the preservation of their artistic traditions.
Your participation is essential to our mission. Feel free to share your thoughts and comments, inquire about a particular artwork, or sign up for our email updates, ensuring you never miss the arrival of new captivating art.
Welcome to African Art Speaks, where the door is always open, and the art of Africa comes alive to inspire, enlighten, and connect us all.
