(With Isabel Boavida) 
Traditional Ethiopian Christian art is a genre born and bred under the stylistic and structural conditionings of traditional religious painting. But, to a great extent, it survived and developed thanks to the fact that, for over a century now, Western expatriates and tourists have been interested in buying it. Such paintings are generally thought of as a "folk" and "naïf" in that they continually repeat the same historical or ethnographic themes in a very conventional way.
