African Drums & Rhythm — Original Beaded Painting on Wood
Vibrant, joyful, and pulsing with the energy of African music — this original beaded painting on wood is a large-format celebration of rhythm, percussion, and the rich visual language of African art. The composition is a bold, cubist arrangement of traditional African musical instruments — two large djembe drums with taut white heads dominate the foreground, their cylindrical bodies rendered in deep purple with gold ribbing, while a carved wooden shaker rattle sits at the centre in warm brown with bold geometric markings. A sweeping green arc cuts dynamically across the composition, and the background explodes in a vivid patchwork of geometric triangles, diamonds, and grid patterns in red, orange, yellow, blue, green, and pink — each shape filled with thousands of hand-applied glass microbeads that shimmer and shift as the light moves across the surface. A painting that you can almost hear. Painted on a solid wood panel and displayed on a natural wood easel.
