Fine Arts at Eco Bank in Kigali
In the mid of january 2008 I have the pleasure to travel to Kigali, the capital of Rwanda ("the country of the thousand hills", as they named it). Naturally, I have shot a lot of photos of art, I have seen there.
When my host Bobito Masanga and I visited his sister Germaine at her working place in the Eco Bank, we found two very big paintings at the front wall of this Nigerian bank. Here You can see a few pictures of the paintings:
The left picture shows an African market. The right picture shows an ancient banker (as you can find them since the birth of Jesus and Mohammed):
Here you can the the environment, in that the two pictures are placed. The building of the bank is in the back:
