Afi Nayo

French/Togoan 1969- 

Afi Nayo, born in Lomé, Togo, in 1969, is a multidisciplinary artist whose work bridges spirituality, cultural syncretism, and humanity’s connection to nature. Splitting her time between Paris and Lomé, Nayo creates intricate wooden paintings and clay sculptures engraved with symbolic hieroglyph-like imagery. Her textured, mosaic-inspired works explore the interplay between abstraction and reality, drawing viewers into an imaginative journey of interpretation. Her recent projects blend personal symbolism with broader universal themes. Nayo’s art reveals minute treasures and offers a poetic reflection on the visible and unseen.
