"The Warrior" is part of Keith Zenda’s dynamic Kune Kose Kose series. This powerful mixed media portrait captures the fierce spirit of a young boy holding a slingshot — not as a toy, but as a traditional tool of survival. In Zimbabwean villages, slingshots are often used to protect crops and homes, especially from baboons. With intense focus and unshakable pride, the boy becomes a symbol of everyday bravery, strength, and youthful defiance. Keith has painted this piece with extraordinary presence — no matter where you stand, the boy’s eyes follow you, (Kune Kose Kose - From Every Angle) as if he is watching, guarding, and challenging the world around him. The textured realism, combined with cultural truth, brings the village warrior to life, reminding us that real power can live in the smallest hands.Try it!
