ABAANA BA KINTU II
Abaana ba Kintu – translating to "Children of Kintu" – is a powerful contemporary piece by Erimarz, blending mythology, cultural symbolism, and visceral expression. This limited-edition print evokes a deep sense of identity, kinship, and the historical journey of the African child. Rendered in vivid cobalt blue skin tones with dramatic black textures, the image captures two children in a poignant embrace, their faces marked by expressive, almost ritualistic strokes of tar-like black paint.
The use of blue signifies spiritual strength and resilience, while the black evokes both ancestral memory and the complexities of modern African identity. The composition is intimate yet confrontational, drawing the viewer into a deeper narrative of unity, survival, and rooted belonging.
This piece is a striking addition to any contemporary art collection, ideal for collectors seeking bold, culturally resonant artwork with a modern African aesthetic.
