BAYE NIASS

Artistic descriptionBaye Niass's face, girded with a traditional turban, captures attention through the force of the gaze turned upwards, a graphic translation of reflection, or spiritual connection. The contours are drawn with precision using the sandblasting technique, where light and dark areas interact to shape the texture of the skin, the relief of the face and the nobility of the expression. Alphartcoin highlights the identity and dignity of the religious leader by exploiting the grainy texture of sand, a technique that gives the work a unique materiality and a particular warmth. The layering accentuates the volume of the turban and garments, while the restrained palette captures the essentials, paying homage to tradition while innovating in visual presentation. This sandblasted portrait celebrates the legacy of Baye Niass, a renowned spiritual guide, while testifying to the modernity of the new Senegalese artistic languages.
