Metallic Acrylic On canvas, 48 x 48 inch

This painting draws inspiration from the profound significance of the number ten in the bible and across various spiritual traditions as it embodies completeness, divine order, and the culmination of a cycle.

In this piece, the ten figures represent the “Wazee Kumi,” ( the ten elders) and symbolize a complete lineage, a foundation upon which the present stands. They are a reminder of the enduring presence of our forefathers. Their stoic expressions and unwavering gazes convey a sense of wisdom accumulated through generations.

The placement of the figures suggests a collective force, a guiding light for future generations. Their presence serves as a reminder of the values, traditions, and knowledge passed down through the ages.

While acknowledging the past, the artwork doesn’t solely dwell on it. The figures, though rooted in their heritage, appear to be gazing forward. This subtle detail signifies the importance of learning from the past to navigate the present and shape a brighter future.

Overall, “Wazee Kumi” (Ten Elders) serves as a bridge between generations. It honors the legacy of our ancestors while emphasizing their enduring role in shaping our path and guiding us toward a purposeful future.
