African Paintings

Some art catches your eye. But some—some touches your heart. At africanpaintings. art, we bring you the kind that lingers. Every brushstroke carries a heartbeat. Every canvas is a memory made visible. Created by artists across Africa, these original paintings are full of feeling—grief and joy, heritage and hope, silence and song. They’re not just objects; they’re expressions of everything it means to be human.
Behind each piece is someone with a story: a painter in Nairobi who honors her ancestors with bold color and soft light. A young man in Dakar who turns his dreams into shape and texture. A quiet soul in Addis Ababa who finds healing through art and shares that with the world.
