36 × 24 Acrylic on Canvas

From the series If These Masks Could Talk, No Two Alike – Baluba is a striking union of heritage and modern expression. Two figures emerge in unison, their raised hands signaling both strength and sacred presence. Inspired by African masks and sculptures—powerful vessels of culture, history, and spirit—the work reimagines these forms as living, figurative subjects. Rich, earthen bodies meet a radiant horizon layered with intricate, fan-like patterns drawn from African textile traditions. Painted in vibrant, emotive color, the piece captures the spiritual energy, individuality, and shared ancestry that these icons embody, redefining them for a contemporary gaze.
