A bold, graphic painting inspired by Dwennimmen, one of the Adinkra symbols of the Akan people of Ghana. Traditionally represented by ram's horns twisted together, Dwennimmen symbolizes humility combined with strength — the idea that even the powerful should remain humble, and the humble can still be strong. Rendered here in vivid red spirals against a cornflower blue ground, the piece translates the symbol's traditional linear form into sweeping, painterly curves, giving it a contemporary, expressive energy while honoring its West African origins. Part of an ongoing series exploring Adinkra symbolism through paint.
Original artwork, acrylic on mineral paper.
