This book is dedicated to Africa, and in memory of those years I have lived there from 1985 to 1995. My work reflects the country’s colourful lifestyle, the magic of the rainforest and the mountains. Africa’s heartbeat goes deep under your skin. Be it the desert, the ocean, or rural areas were farmers in small villages try to make a living. You find it in the village people’s smile, the hunter in the bush, or the fisherman who lives at the ocean’s shore. Africa is engraved in my mind, heart, and soul. My deep love and feelings for this country are expressed in acrylic on canvas. Let me take you on an emotional journey, and show you in this book the paintings, reflecting my feelings for Africa. A few words about the artist ‘Bluebird’ are said as well.
