Original Acrylic Painting | 20 × 20 cm From the Echoes of Africa collection Mayo’s Market is the first piece in my Echoes of Africa collection. Painted in a slightly abstract, expressive style, this work uses bold brushstrokes, layered texture, and a rich, vibrant colour palette to convey movement, warmth, and human connection.
The painting depicts a woman carrying her baby on her back as she moves through the energy of a market scene. Through expressive mark-making and thick, textured strokes, the artwork captures both strength and tenderness, celebrating motherhood and the rhythm of everyday life. This piece forms part of a wider collection inspired by childhood memories of time I spent in Africa, particularly in Gambia, Morocco, and surrounding regions. Rather than portraying specific locations, the collection explores the emotion, warmth, and sense of connection that stayed with me and continues to influence my work.
The compact 20 × 20 cm format makes this painting ideal for a gallery wall, shelf display, or cosy corner, adding a meaningful pop of colour and texture to any space.
