About this artwork
In crafting this piece, I channeled the raw, enduring essence of cement into a celebration of form and symbolism. Melding fine art with geometric shapes, I sought to embody the human spirit's resilience—echoing through the sculpted visage and encircling orbs. The intricate foliage, veiled within the triangle, symbolizes growth amidst rigidity, offering a contemplative sanctuary. This artwork is an ode to the harmonious dance between strength and…
beauty. It promises to infuse any space with a profound, thought-provoking energy.

« I believe that art is a tool that enables this direct intervention, opening new horizons – but in a real and accessible way, so it really reaches people.That is why today I do art having in mind social issues, so it can be one more tool for building knowledge »
Brazilian painter and sculptor Alexandre Keto's works can be found in the permanent collections of the Brazilian Embassies in Ghana and Belgium. Influenced by samba, Orisha worship, and American graffiti, Keto's mission is to celebrate, reconnect, and value the African heritage. Keto's paintings are versions of the gods and goddesses of the ancestral Yoruba traditions, and his sculptures are influenced by African statues, especially those by the Yoruba and Baole people. Keto's works are vivid, eclectic, and celebratory.
