AvecFatou was born from a deep passion for African art and an unwavering commitment to elevating the voices of emerging artists. My love for African art, especially Malian artistry, has been a guiding force in my journey as both a collector and consultant. The richness of African creativity, from the bold strokes of contemporary painters to the intricate craftsmanship of sculptors, tells stories that deserve a global stage. Witnessing the immense potential of up-and-coming artists—many fresh out of art school and eager to make their mark—has inspired me to create a platform that connects their work with collectors who recognize art as an investment in culture and history.
AvecFatou is more than an art consultancy; it is a bridge between talent and opportunity. By working closely with artists, collectors, and galleries, we ensure that the next generation of West African artists is not only seen but celebrated. Our mission is to nurture talent, foster sustainable careers, and provide collectors with access to distinctive, high-value pieces that will shape the future of African art.
At AvecFatou, we specialize in connecting discerning collectors with the next generation of West African artistic talent. Our consultancy provides personalized guidance to clients seeking to acquire works from emerging and mid-career artists, with a special emphasis on women artists from Ghana and Senegal. We curate a selection of artists who are shaping the contemporary art scene, many of whom are recent art school graduates looking to establish their presence in the global market.
With a keen understanding of both artistic value and market potential, we provide tailored acquisition strategies, market insights, and exclusive access to artworks that enhance and diversify our clients’ collections. Whether you are an experienced collector or a new investor in the art world, AvecFatou offers expert advisory services to help you navigate and engage with the dynamic West African art market.
