Assekrem

The Assekrem peak, located in the Ahaggar mountains, is a key point in the Sahara travel routes. This peak is the second tallest elevation in the algerian territory.

This painting was made with oils on a wooden table, whith a four colors palette (black, white, natural siena and sky blue). I wanted to include in the composition a touaregue woman that I found in a photo, and therefore I had to create a fictional ground and stone wall to allocate her in the scene.
