Description
Spirit of Africa is a five-piece wall installation that spreads across a wide expanse of 300cm by 270cm, giving you 8.10 square metres of coverage. The panels carry a bold mask motif at their centre, surrounded by intricate symbolic carvings that reflect the soul of Africa. Each section is made from hand-made textured fibreglass, so the surface holds a tactile quality that reads clearly from across a room. Together the five pieces build a single scene that commands presence and respect, with the mask design anchoring the composition and the carved detailing extending outward.
This piece suits larger open rooms where a wide wall is waiting to be filled, from generous living rooms and lounges to studios and open-plan spaces. It appeals to anyone drawn to sculptural wall art with cultural depth, and to collectors who want a focal point that carries meaning rather than simple pattern. Interior designers working on characterful schemes will find it a strong centrepiece, while homeowners who like bold, tactile art can build a whole room around it.
The full installation weighs 69 kg across its five sections, so the load is shared and each panel is easier to handle than a single slab of this scale would be. We recommend fixing each piece securely to a solid wall using suitable wall plugs and fixings rated for the weight. The pieces line up to form the complete scene, so plan their positions before you drill. To clean, wipe gently with a soft dry cloth, and avoid harsh chemicals that could dull the textured finish. For styling, keep the surrounding wall clear and let the mask motif hold the space on its own.

Frequently Asked
What is this piece made from?
It is made from hand-made textured fibreglass. Because each piece is hand-made, the surface texture carries slight natural variation that adds to its tactile character.
How do the five pieces go together?
The five panels are designed to sit alongside each other to form one continuous scene, with the mask motif at the centre and the carved detailing spreading across the surrounding sections. We suggest laying them out and marking their positions before fixing so the design aligns correctly.
How do I fix it to the wall?
We recommend mounting each of the five pieces to a solid wall using wall plugs and fixings rated for the total weight of 69 kg. Fixing to a sound, load-bearing wall is important given the size and weight of the installation.
How should I clean it?
Wipe the surface gently with a soft dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can dull the textured finish over time.
How much wall space do I need?
The assembled installation measures 300cm wide by 270cm high and covers 8.10 square metres, so you will need a wide, uninterrupted wall to take it. Allow a little clear space around the edges so the design has room to be seen.
