Artwork location: Guinea

The painting by artist AC LION captures a scene in the heart of African nature, imbued with life and tranquility. The composition is imbued with an atmosphere that is both serene and lively, evoking the close link between woman and the nature that surrounds her.

In the center of the canvas, a half-naked woman stands at the edge of a clear lake. Her features are portrayed with a sensitivity that reveals her natural beauty and inner strength. Next to the young woman, a woven basket and a plastic seal, suggesting that she is getting ready to do her laundry. The contrast between the simplicity of the objects and the elegance of the woman creates a captivating visual balance.

The scene is bathed in soft, golden light, which illuminates the calm surface of the lake and accentuates the detail of the surrounding landscape. In the background, a dense forest of majestic trees creates an enchanting natural setting. The leaves of the trees seem to be lulled by the light breeze, adding subtle movement to the canvas. A magnificent waterfall flows gracefully across the backdrop, adding to the peaceful ambiance of the scene and evoking the calming power of nature.

On a rock nearby, a curious little squirrel is perched. Its delicate appearance and attentive posture add a touch of animation and charm to the whole. The squirrel becomes a silent observer of this everyday scene, thus connecting the wildlife to the human story depicted in the painting.

The whole work harmoniously captures the intimate relationship between humans and nature, highlighting the beauty of everyday life in an enchanting natural environment. The warm colors and carefully rendered details testify to the artist's talent for capturing both the aesthetic and the emotion of the scene. The painting evokes a sense of calm, connection and harmony with nature, inviting the viewer to immerse themselves in this contemplative and soothing moment.

Abdoulaye Condé

Abdoulaye Condé

Guinea  • 1980

Abdoulaye Condé, known as the artist AC LION, is a talented Guinean artist whose remarkable artistic style is imbued with a deep appreciation of the African woman. Born into a culturally rich environment in Conakry, Guinea, his early years were shaped by the living traditions and artistic influences of his native country.

From a young age, AC LION showed an early interest in the visual arts. His artistic debut was marked by captivating sketches and sketches, often featuring expressive portraits of African women. Over time, his passion for art intensified, and he developed a distinctive style that fuses realistic elements with a contemporary twist.

Her works are deeply rooted in exploring the beauty, strength and diversity of the African woman. He sensitively captures the grace and power of his subjects through elaborate painting techniques, using vibrant colors and intricate textures to bring each canvas to life. AC LION not only explores the physical aspect, but also the emotions, dreams and experiences of these women, creating pieces that transcend cultural boundaries and touch the soul of any viewer.

In 2022, eager to expand their influence and pursue their artistic career on an international level, AC LION made the bold decision to immigrate to the United States. This movement opened new opportunities to present his art to a larger and more diverse audience, while exploring new perspectives and immersing himself in new cultural environments.

His growing reputation has allowed him to participate in several prestigious exhibitions, both in Guinea and abroad. His works have been acclaimed for their expressiveness and their ability to tell compelling stories through the canvas. Each exhibition offers an opportunity to celebrate the African woman from a unique angle and show how her beauty and resilience transcend geographical and cultural barriers.

AC LION embodies the spirit of an artist who not only paints images, but builds bridges between worlds, cultures and emotions. His artistic journey continues to evolve, and his lasting impact in the art world makes him an ambassador of contemporary African creativity.
