Ndebele Warrior Painting

Description: Africa is a world of colour, energy and movement. From earliest times, Africans have represented their daily lives in paintings, using whatever medium was available at the time. One of the most vibrantly expressive tribes is the Ndebele. The outrageously colourful, geometric patterns of their tribal art has provided inspiration for many artworks, including Ndebele Warrior. About the artist’s work: Rina’s use of external influences to create her art and excite her clients is clear through these Ndebele-inspired works. Rina would love to display South Africa’s cultural diversity and wealth on canvas everywhere, so that it can be understood and appreciated both locally and abroad. About the Ndebele Tribes in South Africa: The vibrant symbols and expressions communicate personal prayers, self-identification, values, emotions, and marriage for the Ndebele tribe in South Africa. The women of the tribe are often the tradition carriers and the main designers of the wall art of their home. The tradition and style of house painting is passed down through the families from generation to generation by the mothers. A well-painted home shows that the woman of the household is a good wife and mother.
