Artist's Description
The Maasai warrior (the male on the right) looks East to his homeland after being admired by the female of a different tribal clan. An attempt to show the gentleness of the warrior and the pleasantness of the single woman after being rejected by the man. I did capture what I felt would be appropriate colorization in the subtle movement of hues between the two heads. The somber blackness preceding the warrior represents his clans' values toward tribal mixing.
This title "Moanmaasai" is a derivative of the words; Mona, moan, and Maasai. There is a kinda-sorta Mona Lisa bewildering smile on her face, a pleasantness after being scolded which hides here inner moan, and the affinity still smoldering for the love of her very desirable bachelor.
Each viewer is challenged to find the small piece of genuine 24k gold leaf somewhere on the warrior's bonnet when on exhibition. 1 of the 21 works exhibited at " Maasai Women: Celebrating Diverse Expressions in Realism" in 2006.
About G Cuffia
Creating works of art is the artists act of disinheriting themselves from mundane tasks to acting on behalf of the universe to produce grandeur. My art is more than art imitating life. It imitates a lasting relationship between viewer and the piece of art. Products are for sale but art is for enjoyment beyond a monetary price. An artist is a vessel in the Master's hand. The piece created is a vessel in the artist's creativity. One must work with the creator God in order for weaknesses to be unpublished. The hand of the artificer must compliment the gift of their stewardship entrusted by the God of the Universe. With Holiness and Purity Practice, Practice, Practice for you never Finish.
