He may be part of the first generation of Malagasy artists who were trained by British missionaries and depicted scenes of everyday life. When the island came under French occupation in 1897, French administrators were drawn to these works and some made it back to French collections. Within this collection, a wide range of aspects of everyday life is depicted – from contemporary hairstyles and dress to farming techniques, landscape and wider cultural practices. Raoelina’s delicate and deliberate technique is apparent in these works, as his exquisite attention to detail, capturing the tiniest aspects of Madagascan life. Very rarely offered on the open market, Raoelina’s work features in the collection of the Musee du quai Branly - Jacques Chirac, Paris and SOAS University Collection, London.
