Press Release

Souda Traore is an artist devoted to the spiritual aspects of African culture. Her art features beautiful and personal renditions of African iconography and motifs. Traore’s original process requires a variety of media including pastel, inks, pencil, paint, clay and sand that gives her works an interesting and unique appeal. Her works appears nearly ethnographic by nature, yet are entirely her own, yielding a complex sense of texture, color, and pattern. The quiet charm of mother and child receive the same attentive treatment as the stoic poses and monumental features of Egyptian Pharaohs. Born and raised in Switzerland, Traore moved to Mali in her teenage years to further explore the continent of her cultural roots. Her art features visual aspects of cultures that she studied while attending the National Institute of Fine Arts in Mali. Upon graduation Traore worked as a tour guide there, further fortifying her connection with Africa. She has given lectures and exhibited frequently in the United States. Traore lives and works in Boston.
