Boy with Hummingbirds
The painting captures the striking face of a young Himba boy, his features rich with expression and cultural depth. One eye is playfully obscured by a delicate bird, while vibrant hummingbirds flit around him, their colours vivid and dynamic, as if drawn to a source of nectar. The background glows with gold leaf, creating a luminous, almost ethereal atmosphere. Golden washers, reminiscent of traditional Himba necklace decorations, add intricate detail and texture. All framing the boy’s face and enhancing the sense of connection between the subject, animals and heritage. The overall effect is one of intimacy and reverence, merging nature and culture in a captivating tableau.
