Dagara Medicine Art for Your Home
These are not just paintings to hang on a wall. They are Dagara sacred objects — medicine art created in Burkina Faso by Dagara artist Mr. Traoré Oumarou, carrying the elements, stories, and spirits of his homeland.
Each work is an altar in disguise, a living companion that remembers the village shrines where Dagara art, religion, and medicine have always been woven together.
When you buy Dagara Medicine Art here, you are inviting West African ritual art directly into your life—art for ancestor altars, home shrines, meditation spaces, and healing rooms.
Every piece in this collection was created to support protection, power, grief work, and reconnection with the earth-based spirits that walk with you.

All artwork in the Dagara Collection is sourced from original paintings created by our featured Dagara artist Mr. Oumarou Traoré, primarily acrylic paint on lightweight canvas and other natural fiber textiles.
Original canvases vary in size and proportions and some are irregular in shape. To preserve the artistic intent, we opted NOT to crop images to fit standard rectangular western artwork layout templates.
The highest quality fine art digital scanning technology was utilized to digitize the artwork into high resolution images, all artwork was scanned professionally by a leading fine art graphics and printing studio in Oakland, California, USA.
Where possible, digital scanning captured the natural edge of the canvas, and professional background removal processing was utilized to represent the most authentic edge-to-edge artwork image possible.
