MANYOYA KIFALME

PRINT DESCRIPTIONS/ SPECS

“Manyoya Kifalme” by Kabriah Asha is a visually striking and deeply evocative piece that embodies a powerful narrative of royal heritage, strength, and grace. The title itself, “Manyoya Kifalme,” suggests a connection to regal ancestry, with “Kifalme” translating to “queen” or “royalty” in Swahili, positioning the subject as a figure of immense power, wisdom, and dignity.

Asha’s mastery of color in this piece is remarkable. The queen is bathed in warm earth tones—rich oranges, golds, and blue hues—that symbolize vitality, strength, and spiritual connection. The metallic accents—particularly gold—highlight the divine nature of the figure, elevating her from a mere human form to an almost celestial being, resonating with both earthly power and celestial grace. The contrasts between the dark, grounding background and the luminous figure create a sense of depth, allowing the queen to appear as if she is both part of her environment and transcendent of it.

Her facial features are serene yet commanding, reflecting both the wisdom and resolve that come with the responsibility of leadership. There’s a quiet strength in her gaze, suggesting that she is both a protector and a visionary, deeply aware of her role in both the present and the future.

For an art collector, “Manyoya Kifalme” is a piece that speaks to the intersection of history, heritage, and power. It is a celebration of the strength and grace inherent in leadership, particularly within African cultures, and a reminder of the important role that women have played throughout history. The rich symbolism, the majestic portrayal of the queen, and the vibrant color palette make this artwork an incredibly powerful and meaningful addition to any collection, one that invites reflection on the broader themes of identity, heritage, and the enduring legacy of powerful women.
