Queen and King: The Royal Dance Unity

2024 | Acrylic on Canvas, Stretched on Wood Frame

This artwork is inspired by Rwanda's traditional dance "Intore," depicting a king and queen leading their subjects in a majestic dance of unity. Their regal attire gleams with opulence, reflecting their noble lineage and dedication to their kingdom. Surrounding them, troupe members move gracefully in vibrant costumes that celebrate their cultural heritage. The rhythmic drums echo the nation's heartbeat, while a loyal dog, dignified and carrying a single rose, symbolizes love, loyalty, and the enduring bond between ruler and subject. Together, they embody the harmony and strength of a united kingdom, celebrating friendship and cultural richness.
