Step into a world where every brushstroke holds a memory, and every canvas carries a poem.
Most galleries focus on what’s seen. But the most powerful African art paintings also ask to be felt.
At Ovico Gallery, every painting is paired with a poem by the artist. These are powerful, written expressions that unlock what the canvas cannot say aloud.
I've always been drawn to art that tells a story, and this collection does just that. It’s a privilege to own something so special.

Most paintings offer no text or context to explore deeper meaning.
Viewers are left guessing about origin, symbolism, and message.
African wall art often lacks a narrative background for collectors to understand.
Too often, art is curated for layout, not legacy.
Without a story, art feels separated from its roots.
Poetry by the artist. The words come from the same hand that holds the brush, deepening the connection.
Themes that resonate. Each painting explores identity, history, spirituality, and belonging.
Limited editions, lasting meaning. No more than five reproductions per work.
Story-first collecting. Our clients don’t just see—they remember, feel, and share.
An intimate experience. Perfect for homes, collections, and gallery wall art, designed to engage.
I've always been drawn to art that tells a story, and this collection does just that. Every piece is unique and beautifully crafted. It’s a privilege to own something so special.

Poetry adds a narrative layer that helps viewers understand the artist’s intention, emotion, and cultural references. It transforms art from a visual experience into an emotional and intellectual one, especially in African art paintings where heritage and history are central.
Absolutely. Our works are curated not only for aesthetic power but for emotional engagement. Whether displayed alone or in a series, they elevate any gallery wall art installation with both visual and narrative strength.
Start with the poem. If the words resonate—if they reflect a part of your story, memory, or values—the artwork will carry that meaning forward every time you see it.
No. Most African wall art focuses solely on imagery. Ovico is among the few galleries that offer a true visual-literary experience, where poetry and painting are created in tandem by a single artist.
