About this artwork
This work does not speak exactly on a particular subject. However, my life as a Fulani nomad flows from it. We see knots, ropes, intricate patterns and endings of lianas which are elements of the daily life of nomadic Peul shepherds

Sanda Amadou is an award-winning painter and draftsman based in Benin whose works have been exhibited in Nigeria and the Netherlands. The central themes that he addresses through his works relate to pastoral nomadism as well as the difficulties, the sorrows, and the joys of the Fulani nomads. Amadou often depicts ropes, vines, leaf branches, and cattle in his compositions, as they are symbolic of the daily life of the nomadic Fulani herders.
