Badara Camara was a key figure in the École de Dakar, a group of Senegalese artists influenced by Léopold Sédar Senghor’s vision of blending African heritage with modernity. Camara stood out for his intellectual approach, engaging deeply with Senghor's writings. Création reflects his symbolic style, with its imposing architectural form and halo in the background, symbolizing art’s role in building a modern, independent nation.
