The painting is a contemporary interpretation of the classical Greek mythology. It depicts Europe and Africa as sisters-nymphs who were both daughters of Oceanus, the Titan who personified the world-ocean, and his wife Tethys, another sea goddess. The title emphasizes the origin and kinship of the two women, who are both Oceanids, the nymphs of the ocean. It also suggests a mythical and historical perspective on the continents they represent. In this ethereal realm where sea meets land under the eternal gaze of azure heavens, Europe and Africa stand united yet distinct – sisters born from Oceanus’ mighty waters. They embody dualities; light-dark, known-mysterious, yet in their celestial birthright lies profound unity. They’re not mere mortals but divine nymphs echoing ancient whispers of mythology. Each is an enigma wrapped in human form – an allegory breathing life into stone-cold maps delineating Europe’s intricate tapestry from Africa’s enigmatic expanse. In this liminal space between reality’s rigid lines and fantasy’s fluid contours lies an untold narrative – one where continents aren’t land masses but living entities with souls deep as oceans from whence they were birthed. “Ocean’s Daughters” isn’t just art; it’s an invocation summoning viewers into mystical terrains where mythology isn’t past but present – alive in every brush stroke rendering Europe’s grace beside Africa’s strength.
