MOMAR writes as follows: "My desire was to replace the drafting table that I had been working on for so many years with easel and canvas, acrylic, watercolor, gouache and pastels. My intent was to express myself by our native environment using the warm and varied, rich colored tones and textures of African folklore and tradition. I refused to be labelled a tribal or ethnic artist. I felt in doing that, it would limit my work and my audience. Instead, I tried to advocate, as poet Senghor said, a deep -rooted, but worldwide expanse.
