“Serene” is a stunning piece of African artwork that beautifully embodies calmness and cultural pride. This textured acrylic painting features the serene portrait of an African woman adorned with a vibrant multicolored headwrap and a large, intricately designed flower. Her closed eyes evoke a sense of deep peace and contentment, perfectly reflecting the meaning of the title—calm, peace, and tranquility.

A Celebration of African Heritage
The inspiration for “Serene” is deeply rooted in the cultural significance of headwraps worn by African women. For Jedidah, this imagery draws from her own upbringing in Africa, where she watched her mother and other women proudly wear their headwraps. These headwraps are more than just accessories—they are symbols of identity, status, and cultural heritage.
This painting is a heartfelt tribute to the strength, elegance, and resilience of African women, capturing their beauty and cultural pride. Through “Serene,” Jedidah invites viewers to connect with the rich traditions and narratives that Afro art uniquely conveys.
Peaceful and Poetic

“Peace
Silences the nightmares of the mind.
Peace
Feeds the dreams of the heart.”
