Maruvian Queen Ida

24"x 48"x 1.5" Original oil on canvas

Maruvian Queen Ida portrays a layered assembly of African masks from Benin, featuring the beauty of Queen Ida reimagined with modern, saturated color. Each overlapping face expresses a different mood—playful, solemn, watchful—while intricate patterns and braided details link them into a single, shifting identity. Rich ochres and bright accents play against a dark floral backdrop, guiding the eye across subtle textures and carefully rendered features. Bold yet approachable, this work brings color and conversation to a wall and would make a striking addition to your space.
