In the heart of the market, fabrics become more than merchandise. They carry colors, patterns, memories, and stories, surrounding the women who sell them and the people who come searching for something that speaks to them.

SMELL THE ART

An encounter between painting and scent.

Through Smell the Art, Maku Dakar explores a new way of experiencing his paintings. Each artwork is paired with one or more carefully selected fragrances, whose olfactory notes echo its colours, atmosphere and emotions. By engaging both sight and smell, this sensory experience invites viewers to discover the artwork beyond the canvas, awakening memories, sensations and personal associations.
