The artist shares, “In Black Centurion, the idea of assemblage is very present. I used a sculpture of Apollo from the Roman antiquity in the lower part of the figure, some image extractions of sacred masks, a statue from Nigeria and a real photographic portrait from an ethnological fund of the 20’s.
This piece represents a fusion of civilizations who depict a Black heroe of antiquity.”
