Flame of the Ancestors ignites a dialogue between memory and metamorphosis. Flowing forms rise from an earthen base toward vertical fields of burnt sienna and blue, evoking the fusion of fire and spirit. The organic textures recall tree bark and ritual markings — traces of life transformed into energy. Through his tactile gestures and folded canvas technique, Hamed Ouattara translates ancestral vibration into contemporary abstraction. The work radiates warmth, movement, and renewal — a visual offering to the ever-living flame of origin.
