As in many other countries, the African Art differs from one region to another. The African sculptures reflect the region they come from, the geographical area being very important because, based on these coordinates, the symbols, materials and methods of implementation vary. The materials and their processing in the form of masks and statues vary from region to region. All the African sculptures have specific elements from the area they come from, just to be able to differentiate between them. Even if the art is different, there are recurrent elements that together create the African Design.

The African Art consists mostly of abstract representations of flora, fauna or reinterpretation of shapes and patterns in nature, often depicting the abundance of the surrounding nature. In this type of art, the human figure is the overall representation of almost any being relevant to the tribe. The dead, the living, dancers, chiefs, drummers, gods, spirits, all these “states of aggregation of being” find their anthropomorphic representation in this art.

However, the representations of the human beings are not strictly anthropomorphic. If we look at masks or totem statues, we see a fusion between man and animal, this fusion of the animal with the human shapes being an expression of African populations’ communion with nature. For most artifacts belonging to this country’s art, the human figure has been a primary source of inspiration and the African interpretation of the human appearance was in turn the inspiration for some of the European cultural expressions. The sophisticated customers of the boutiques situated in the major cities everywhere are increasingly attracted to what can be called generic African Art and African Design.
