Her In Kitenge Shorts (2024) is an expressive original acrylic and textile artwork on a stretched wood frame, measuring 120.0cm x 85.0cm. This vibrant piece pays homage to the beauty and cultural significance of the kitenge fabric, a treasured textile in many African communities.
Inspired by a personal and intimate moment, the artist recalls: “She was sitting there, I took a photo, and then I painted her.” Through this process, the work became both a celebration of love and an ode to the rich artistry of kitenge patterns. In Rwanda and across Africa, kitenge has evolved into a symbol of pride, identity, and craftsmanship, widely used in creating elegant and expressive clothing.
The combination of acrylic paints with real textile elements brings the scene to life, adding texture, depth, and authenticity to the portrayal. This artwork is perfect for collectors, cultural art lovers, or anyone seeking a statement piece that blends contemporary art with African heritage.
