Bamako, Mali

This collage offers a beautiful look at riverside and rural life in Niger, West Africa — including the banks of the Niger River and traditional Sahelian architecture. From handmade wooden canoes and moored fishing boats to circular clay huts with thatched roofs, the images reflect an earthy palette of ochres, browns, and dusty blues. Artists will appreciate the strong composition lines from tree silhouettes, hut contours, and the calm expanse of water. These references are ideal for exploring cultural storytelling, light on textured surfaces, and minimalist rural geometry.
