About the Item

Bimbo is a painting by Chima Theophilus, depicting a young lady with a pink dress and afro hair. Abimbola (a diminutive form of Bimbo) is a Yoruba given name meaning BORN WITH WEALTH. Chima dived into the world of black skin of the black race to present to you a stunningly beautiful young lady of Africa. Her dark glowing skin portrays the rich cultural heritage of the Africans, which indeed is their beauty. Her afro hair is her pride which gives her the indescribable beauty of a Lady of virtue.
