I have a thing for those... Has been a strong taste for landscapes for years.
Portraits are just sneaking on top of my preference scale. Maybe the emotion in them would have to do with that. I'm more & more expecting to seize expressions one can read on those faces. Could be the tenderness, boldness, harshness, anger///
Although a tiny gallery, you'll find nice stuffs in Ateliers Zacaranda. Check picture #1.
Apart from Ateliers Zacaranda, one could reach the private gallery of one of greatest impressionist painters in Madagascar. But be prepared to pay, the guy is big. :-) He also lives & paints in Anosy. I'll fetch his name, cannot remember it now. Still, I visited his workshop & gallery once. Was then so enticed by those huge landscape paintings (one, I could guess it, of a Ranomafana spot... thick forest, river, rocks..)... Didn't even try to ask about the price. As I said, the guy used(s) to be huge...
Was my company running well (we haven't even found any premice, so far.. lol), I would be able to buy this painting on Picture 1. My taste for portrait is developing. The first portrait-like composition was this market scenery painting sold in Antsirabe. And now, this breast-feeding painting... So much tenderness & light in it. Just love the blueish shades of pink & blue amidst the warm ochre, orange, brown & yellow combination... I also love the lightness & balance in it...
I went asking about the price of the painting on picture 1: 150000 Ariary for the portrait (about 60 euros, a bit more in USD: 60-70)
