Blind Wisdom

Immerse yourself in the depth of African artistic expression with "Blind Wisdom," a striking charcoal drawing that speaks to the complex interplay between power, intuition, and restraint. This evocative piece portrays a man with a serpent coiled around his head, obscuring his eyes, nose, and mouth—symbolizing the tension between sight and perception, silence and wisdom.

In many African traditions, the serpent represents transformation, knowledge, and the unseen forces that guide existence. Here, it acts as both a barrier and a guide, challenging the viewer to question whether blindness is a limitation or a form of deeper insight. The raw, textured strokes of charcoal emphasize the subject’s quiet intensity, creating a compelling contrast between shadow and form.

This artwork is a testament to the storytelling power of African creativity, where symbolism and craftsmanship merge to evoke thought and emotion. A perfect piece for collectors who appreciate profound narratives and the beauty of monochromatic expression.
