“Karibu” in Kiswahili means “welcome”. This is the first painting made in a long time that I didn’t paint. A subject that is part of me, one hand is mine, the other that of a shaman from a village on the Kenyan coast. This handshake has a real meaning between two different cultures, where, in addition to the exchange of a handshake, it has meant an exchange of mutual knowledge, respect, and passion.
