Ọkọ Ìyàwó, meaning Husband and Wife, stands an elderly couple side by side in a warm burnt gold frame, both in matching traditional dress, both facing slightly different directions while their shoulders and hips remain pressed together in the easy contact of people who have stood beside each other for decades. He holds both hands behind his back. She holds both hands folded in front of her. Neither looks at the other because they long since stopped needing to. Between their touching sides, a single white flower grows upward from the exact point where their bodies meet. This tender and visually beautiful Nigerian digital painting is a Giclée mixed media fine art print on museum quality 310gsm Textured Fine Art Cotton Rag, one of only 20 prints produced worldwide. An exceptional piece of framed art for any home that understands what enduring love looks like when it is simply standing still.
