Umoja Market Moment Original Acrylic Painting | 20 × 20 cm From the Echoes of Africa collection
Painted in a slightly abstract, figurative style, this piece features bold, expressive brushstrokes and a rich, warm colour palette. It captures a moment of connection within a family — a mother organising fruit at the market while her daughter has her hair braided by her grandmother. The scene reflects both strength and tenderness, celebrating motherhood, tradition, and everyday life.
This artwork is part of my Echoes of Africa collection, inspired by childhood memories of time I spent in Africa, particularly in Gambia, Morocco, and surrounding regions. Rather than depicting specific locations, the collection explores the warmth, emotion, and human connection that left a lasting impression on me and continues to influence my work.
