About the Item

Crown of Glory 2" is a captivating painting that portrays an African woman with a beautiful afro hairstyle. The title of the painting is inspired by a quote from the Bible, which states that "a woman's hair is her crown of glory" (1 Corinthians 11:15). The woman in the painting is dressed in a colorful Ankara fabric, which is expertly collaged onto the canvas to create a stunning texture and pattern. The Ankara fabric is a nod to the rich cultural heritage of Africa and adds to the visual appeal of the artwork. The background of the painting is painted with vibrant flowers and floral designs, which create a lively and joyful atmosphere. The flowers and floral designs are symbolic of the beauty and resilience of the African woman. The woman's facial expression is one of contentment and joy, as she smiles slightly and looks sideways. Her gaze is focused on something beyond the canvas, suggesting that she is filled with hope and optimism. Overall, "Crown of Glory 2" is a celebration of the beauty and strength of African women. It reminds us that our hair is a symbol of our identity, and that we should embrace and celebrate our unique beauty. Shipping Procedure: Ships in a well-protected tube from Nigeria. This work is unique, not a print or other type of copy. Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity. About Artist Bakare Babatunde Oluwadamilare was born in Ogun State, Nigeria.
