Ali Silem wrote the introductory text for Baya, the only artist in the catalog without a photograph. He writes Baya's painting is an offering, a sacred painting where all is silence and serenity, total harmony... It is through dreams and by drawing inspiration from the traditional collective imagination that Baya, as a consummate artist, gives birth to her supernatural beings. "
