Plant and Cultivate Your Inner Garden, Maasai – Original Painting, 89 x 116 cm

In Plant and Cultivate Your Inner Garden, Dorothée Rodriguez Velar transforms the traditional Maasai necklace into a luminous symbol of inner strength and renewal. The circular form, both protective and sacred, anchors the composition like a portal between the visible and the invisible, inviting the viewer to enter a space of introspection and rebirth.

The vivid interplay of red, blue, green, yellow, and black recalls the vibrant beadwork of Maasai culture, where every color carries meaning: courage, vitality, harmony, and spiritual grounding. Here, the cascade of fine vertical lines suggests growth — like seeds sprouting into life — a visual metaphor for the patient cultivation of one’s soul.

This work transcends ornamentation. It becomes a manifesto: the garden within us must be nurtured with care, courage, and beauty. For discerning collectors, architects, and curators, Plant and Cultivate Your Inner Garden embodies both cultural heritage and contemporary abstraction, capable of elevating any interior into a sanctuary of meaning and light.
