About the Item
In this portrait, the figure stands enveloped in a field of vibrant Ankara florals, symbols of culture, growth, and generational beauty. Her rich afro, rendered with deep texture, crowns her like a halo, while the ruffled blue collar suggests both royalty and responsibility. Ìyá Mi Nìkan is a tribute to the sacred presence of the African mother: the one who walks with nurturing steps, who bears pain in silence, and who stands tall through storms. She is a vessel of life, a keeper of traditions, and the heartbeat of home.
