Duende Art Projects

Sharing a profound passion for the art of the African continent

Duende Art Projects was founded in 2021 by Bruno Claessens, an art expert with 15 years of experience in the African art market. The gallery’s ambition is to inspire people and enrich their lives by sharing our profound passion for the art of the African continent. Our purpose is to strengthen Africa’s visibility and significance within the global and diverse art world through curated exhibitions on unique locations. The gallery wishes to open up the western-dominated perspective in the art world, and offers a well-rounded and fresh take on African art, both classical and contemporary.

Duende Art Projects’ mission is to connect people — the curious and interested, aspiring and seasoned collectors, connoisseurs, emerging and established artists, art advisors, curators and writers — with art from the African continent and its diaspora.
