| "I was born in Sahel,
Burkina Faso between the Sahara Desert and the Savanna of West
Africa. My parents are nomads, me too; they have cows, sheep and
goats. Now a days, Sahel has become more and more of a desert
animals die, people go away. When I was a kid I used to keep the
animals, and I drew them a lot. I drew a long line of sheep or
cows. At that time I just used a pen to draw. The more I liked to
draw, the more I liked to have colors and reality. Then, I started
to use the mud of the hill and the sap of the trees to make
colors." |

"Today, I don’t just represent the
beauty of the animals and hills; I give my opinion about the problems
of my world and find solutions. Every time I paint I use just what I
have for the most beautiful thing I want. In this philosophy I want to
say to my people, they don’t have to go away, they must use what
they have, to be better."
Abdoul's paintings are created from
all natural materials found in his environment.
