The belief that nothing is inanimate, the world being a great living entity. Our universe is not only inhabited or populated by spirits, it has a soul that we could call "cosmic soul": All beings are united and part of that soul. Thanks to this unique order of things, man is also the parent of the spirits as the parent of the animal, plant and mineral world. All these entities being linked in a system whose engine is energy, power. The distributions or redistribution of these forces being the basis of myths and interpretations of phenomena the universe: The Totem, the twins, the birth, the trances, the death, the sickness, all these social residues of fear that are at the origin of African beliefs. All this gives a special place to art in these societies: work of the spirit, tool of social regulation, instrument for reaching the sacred we use the bronze, the wood, the terracotta in our sculptures to translate the Construction of the imaginary in traditional Africa: Art in animist societies where the prehistoric links between art and magic has never been broken. We inspire African myths: The cosmos, the ontological structure of human, these relationships with the universe in a system of energy movements, power or force.
