Moulaye Sarr (1967) - womans face

Painting Moulaye Sarr - Woman Face - Gambia. Size: 90 cm x 70 cm - on board. Moulaye Sarr was born in the Gambian village of Chilla on 3 May 1967. Moulaye started drawing cartoons and sketches while still at primary school. His work has a variety of influences, both local and from neighbouring Senegal. Traditional African patterns are reduced to their essence. His paintings are rich in colour. Moulaye works with a varied range of media. He creates abstract shapes in acrylic paint on canvas, but he is also a gifted portrait artist. He uses pencil, charcoal and sand for his portraits. He occasionally experiments with textile designs and other media. Moulaye is committed to mentoring young artists in their early careers. He himself spent seven years in Senegal where, working with prominent Senegalese artists, he refined his artistic talents. Today, Moulaye Sarr is known as an exceptionally talented painter from the younger generation of artists in The Gambia. Proceeds from this painting support the Uncle Sams Foundation The board of the Uncle Sams Foundation believes that every impoverished child in the village of Kirwanira in Uganda, has the right to primary education. This education should be provided in a safe, healthy, and loving environment where children can develop and flourish. By providing education, we increase these children's chances of a better future. The goal of the Uncle Sams Foundation is to increase the percentage of impoverished children attending school by 30%. In a village where 90% of schools are established by entrepreneurs for profit, the high costs make it impossible for 60% of the impoverished children and orphans in Kirwanira to attend school. Establishing an Uncle Sams Foundation School—funded by donations from friends, family, and businesses in the Netherlands—will allow school costs to be significantly reduced. This will ensure that more than 200 impoverished children gain access to primary education over the next five years.
