Kenyan Bride Painting

The appearance of the Maassai bride is as unique as it is unexpected. Her dazzling headdress of beads is called Imassa. Feel the immense weight of thousands of tiny beads pressed against your skin as you walk under the hot Kenyan sun. Her head is shaved and anointed with lamb’s fat before she crosses the distance between her birth family and the new family of her husband’s. When I look at this young woman’s delicate face, I can see how she is uncertain of her future success as a wife and mother, yet she walks with determination and bravery beyond her years. The life-like beaded texture of her Imassa was achieved by squeezing paint through a small opening in a tube. The sides of this canvas have been painted crimson in order to intensify the color scheme. This original, hand-painted masterpiece is carefully glossed and varnished for maximum resistance to heat, moisture and UV light so that your investment in fine art appreciates over time. All hanging hardware is included and installed so that Kenyan Bride is ready for display.
