African Art Masks, African Poetry and Metal Art for Sale: Mother Africa

The art piece used for this poem is part of my Metal African Art Masks collection and the poem is part of my African Poetry series. The inspiration for this poem was drawn from an African painting of a female figure mask. When I did this embossed metal painting I had no idea what it would turn out to be I just knew that I wanted it to have the appearance of an African mask and a female figure. The markings and details were added later as the art piece took shape. Once the art piece was complete it looked to me like a woman with her shoulders weighed down hence the title and subject of this African poem, that I named, "Mother Africa: The Weight of the World on Her Shoulders."

Mother Africa:
The Weight of the World On Her Shoulders

An African Poem by Injete Chesoni

The world is on her shoulders,
The burden weighs her down,
She has borne many children,
Scattered around this world.
Her sweat has watered this earth,
Many times over,
And it continues to drip,
even as her children cry in hunger.
The fruits of her labor,
Seep through the ground,
Bleeding out from her,
To feed a hungry world.
She is a beast of burden,
Born to serve this earth,
Her life was written
for her,
before she was ever birthed.
Her teardrops
feed and nurture,
The parched earth beneath her feet,
She cannot stop crying,
for her tears ensure she lives.

Female Nude Art, African Art Painting and Metal Art Work

Metal African Painting of Female Figure Nude:
Black Female Nude Art: Lady In Orange
Nude Oil Painting on Metal Art by Injete Chesoni

This is one of the very first metal art work pieces that I did. It is a brightly colored African art painting on metal and features a partially nude female in African dress. It was inspired by a beautiful nude art photograph of an African woman. This piece allows me to combine two of my artistic passions creating metal art work and painting female nudes. Like most artists I love painting the nude female figure. I have noticed it is relatively difficult to find fine art nude paintings featuring black or African women. I therefore decided to create some. I hope you will enjoy them. The art piece below pre-dates my metal art work and is an oil pastel art piece of a red haired nude. I love this piece too.
