An ornate print by Harmonia Rosales celebrates an epic tale of Yoruba deities.
Eve and the Orishas is based on the Baroque painting Consequences of War (1628) by Peter Paul Rubens. However, in this rendition, the artist depicts Yoruba deities (Orishas) and the biblical figure of Eve defending their own cultural identities in the face of European attempts to entrap them in Western Christian narratives. An allegory for the diasporic Yoruba religion, Lucumí, also called Santería, this painting is a prime example of the Cuban-American painter's renowned skill for re-imagining classical European art through an Afrocentric lens.
