Fragments of Intimacy

The Intimate as a Reflection of the Soul and Culture
Intimate Splinters brings together a selection of contemporary African works where the portrait becomes an intimate and universal language. Each face, each painted body tells a story—the story of a being, a place, a culture. These artists capture much more than features: they reveal souls, marked by memory, struggles, hopes, and transmitted legacies.

Far from a simple aesthetic exercise, the body here becomes a living archive. It gives voice to silences, traditions, blends, and multiple identities. The textures, gazes, vibrant or veiled colors translate a plural, introspective, and powerful Africa, between an embraced past and a reinvented future.

This curation highlights artists who use the body as a terrain of expression and memory. Their works embody an Africa that looks at itself, thinks about itself, dreams of itself, and asserts itself.
