Artist's Description
The is a study of contrasting values. On the left, the white value and negative space serve to typify her innocence. Her sultry look is deceiving because she is in fact displeased at her betrothed because her parents are not approving of what he has to give to them as a dowry.
The right side black value introduces her darkened prospect of marraige when she asks her beau: Where You Going? He answers "away", now she must abide by her elder's decision
which proclaims 'he is not wealthy enough' so we will choose another.
She has prematurely placed a silver ring about her neck on a silver chain in anticipation of her wedding. The gold earring symbolizes her untarnished hope for change in the old mores of her clan. Her name Napinisha being interpreted from her native language means - One who faces
much, but overcomes all.
One of 21 paintings exhibited at "Maasai Women: A Chapter Celebrating Diverse Expressions In Realism" exhibition in Baltimore, MD. December 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 One must work with the creator God in order for weaknesses to be unpublished.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.
