Every carver from the afrikan tribe of Makonde when he achieves highest professionalism in carving of ebony wood, is making the sculpture "Root of Life". This sculpture is a result of the whole life of the Master, he expresses in it not only his own vision of world but also experience of ancestors and most important themes of mythology. Usually after executing this sculpture, master dies. For me, the master of makonde is a symbol of creativity and self-refusal.
In the composition of the painting "Master of creative forces", the celestial Master is a reflection of the terrestrial master of makonde. The painting yoou could see in the gallery "Paintings"
