We sold our painting of The Ibeji! Can’t wait for it to get to its new home🥹🫶🏾
The Ibeji is the name of a Yoruba #orisha who represent twins, our depiction of the #ibeji is of fraternal twins 🤍🖤
The first born twin is named Taiwo and the second Kehinde, however Kehide is spiritually older, sending Taiwo into the world to check if it is safe to come out.✨

Have you heard of the Ibeji?☯️
This is our depiction of the #orisha ! We decided to go for fraternal twins who represent complete opposites in every way from gender to skin tone. 🫶🏾 What do you think?
This is the second time we’ve painted the #ibeji and we love how it looks!🎨
The first born twin is named Taiwo and the second Kehinde, however Kehide is spiritually older, sending Taiwo into the world to check if it is safe to come out.✨
Alsooo did you know that the highest rate of twin births are said to be in Benin? Many people link these births to the Yoruba people, who can be found in #benin as well as in #nigeria and #togo 🇧🇯🇳🇬 🇹🇬
Tag a twin in the comments!🖤🤍
If you’re a twin and would like this painting (or a print of it) comment below and we will dm you a special code for a discount✨

We paint beautiful black figures inspired by African Mythology & Folklore because of the lack of exposure to their stories in mainstream art & media and we will continue to do so because we absolutely LOVE it!
