Oil on Canvas
36 × 48 in
Irving, Texas — 2023
Sister Kongo portrays a composed female figure dressed in blue and wearing a veil reminiscent of a Catholic sister — a symbol of devotion, spiritual discipline, and consecration. Rooted in Kongo symbolism, the painting reflects the harmony between humanity, nature, and the spiritual world.
Seated on a specially crafted chair, she appears calm, grounded, and fully present. Her gaze creates a quiet connection with the viewer, inviting contemplation and conversation. Beside her, the leopard — a powerful symbol within Kongo culture — watches beyond the visible world, standing as a guardian between the seen and unseen.
Through rich textures and expressive brushwork, the work explores themes of ancestral memory, spirituality, inner strength, and the delicate space between reality and dream.
