Oil PaintDescription
Carrying Tomorrow (Kutakura Ramangwana) is part of a 10-piece series portraying everyday life in Zimbabwe. The painting shows a woman walking forward with a child sitting on her shoulders, a symbol of strength, care, and the passing of hope from one generation to the next. She carries a basket in one hand, filled with goods, representing the daily labor that sustains families. The bright yellow and green clothing contrasts against the textured background of magazine text, creating a layered narrative that weaves together tradition, modernity, and resilience. The child, perched high above, looks outward with curiosity, reminding us of the future shaped by the sacrifices of today. With bold, expressive brushwork, the piece honors women as pillars of community and guardians of tomorrow.Try it!
