This north African inspired painting is rooted in the Kente fabric that is traditionally worn by the Kingdom of Ashanti royalty. Recognised around the world as uniquely African, this heritage fabric combines silk and cotton and is characterised by dazzling multicoloured patterns, geometric shapes, bold designs and bright colours. Each one with its unique meaning and identified by name. The “Kente Bride” is enrobed in the blue hue of this Kente design signifying peacefulness, love and harmony set against the backdrop of ornate wallpaper.
