Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity. Having been nurtured by a Yoruba father who happens to be a twin was a major inspiration for creating this painting. In Yoruba culture, twins are considered a special blessing from God. They are mostly called ‘ibeji’ which means twins. In Yoruba society, twins are given special names, such as Taiwo (meaning “first to taste the world“) and Kehinde (meaning “second to taste the world”). It is mostly believed that twins have special privileges and are accompanied by several fortunes. About Artist Oluwatobiloba Amusan was born in Otta, Ogun State, Nigeria.
