Iya

This painting explores a mother’s essence which is one of care and nurturing.

A mother’s face is the first thing that a child encounters at birth and through early human life. For this reason, the earliest cultures depicted the mother as the great goddess.

Iya is the word for mother in the Yoruba language.
