16th Direction Kenya Painting

Painting from Kenya | Kenyan Painting | Wall Art Kenya | African Mythology Art

Unravel layers of mysticism, spirituality, and abstract thought in the 16th Direction Kenya Painting — an evocative piece by Kenyan artist Dale Kotengo, created in 2021.

This acrylic on canvas artwork portrays Orunmila, the revered Yoruba Orisha of wisdom, divination, and knowledge. The scene captures his transcendental descent after 400 years of fasting, bestowing clarity and flow upon his followers in a dreamlike landscape of gold, lush vegetation, and mental ecstasy.

A fusion of Abstract Expressionism and Surrealism, this painting boldly explores the blurred lines between religious experience and altered states of consciousness — raising questions about divine insight, psychedelics, and reality itself.

Ideal for lovers of African mythology art, collectors of thought-provoking Kenyan paintings, or anyone drawn to bold, symbolic visual narratives.
