A scholar, artist, politician, poet, activist, and writer. And that doesn't even do Abdias Nascimento justice. His works and life prove his active commitment to Black expression and solidarity. Nascimento expressed his research into African people through art. His paintings defy categorization as either figuration or abstraction, as he uses myths and concepts from Ancient Egypt, the Yoruba's, and the Ashanti's.
