WMTA project

I'm a big fan of art and an artist myself (sometimes). I've spent most of my life appreciating paintings by artists from all over the world. Especially African artists. At some point, I could tell you who made a painting just by looking at the style. I thought this was perfectly normal until some of my friends told me that it wasn't common. That was when I had the thought. If I can recognise paintings from artists even if I have never seen that specific artwork before, can computers do this too? In fact, can they do a better job? In 2023, I started working on a project to answer these questions. That was how WMTA started. As I continued working on the project, I realised a deeper problem. African art is poorly documented and no one seems to be solving this. I expanded the project from identifying African painting styles to documenting African artworks and artists. It's still in the beta phase but I'd appreciate feedback, questions and ideas on improving this. You can watch the video demo here:
