A Walk into The Past Canvas Painting

A visual commentary about traditions and progress. According to Chali, “traditions are like the roots of a giant tree with great space, red and black enriching the soil with wild places and rocks stamped by age.” As an African artist, he comments that nature in African is supreme and is the last remnant of our primordial world and if you do in fact visit the continent, you will notice that there are many natural open spaces still untouched by development, many preserves where animals are able to live safely and roam, though this becomes less so the the waters of time flow. A Walk into the Past depicts the changing world as tried and tested by nature, where past and present are always merging and there is more of the past than there is of the momentary present.
