- The Watusi War Dance
Original artwork description
An older acrylic painting from 2006.
A traditional African dance scene, inspired by the cultural heritage of the Tutsi people. The focus is on six African warriors depicted in a rhythmic war dance. Their bodies are muscular and dynamic in movement, with raised arms and bent knees. They wear traditional clothing: red robes, beaded necklaces, headbands, and foot rattles. Weapons such as spears and staffs are part of the martial dance. They also wear long, blond wigs as their hairstyle.
A bright sun shines in the sky, almost symbolic—it acts as a powerful source of energy.
This painting celebrates African culture, particularly the war dance, as an expression of strength, unity, and identity. It conveys power, rhythm, and cultural pride. The dance functions not only as physical movement, but as a ritual, almost spiritual event.
