“My African Baby” captures the timeless image of a woman carrying her baby securely on her back, wrapped in a vibrant piece of traditional African fabric. Set within an African community, the artwork reflects themes of motherhood, love, and resilience. The woman’s posture and calm expression symbolize strength and nurturing, while the surrounding environment—filled with warm earthy tones, village textures, and cultural patterns—celebrates the deep bond between mother and child that transcends generations.
The piece honors the essence of African womanhood: the beauty of care, the rhythm of daily life, and the quiet dignity of mothers who carry both their children and their communities on their backs.
