The Mbele Family

This portrait was commissioned by a devoted son as a gift for his parents, capturing them on their first wedding anniversary in the 1990s. Mr. Mbele is shown smiling warmly in a black suit paired with a red floral tie, while Mrs. Mbele wears a coy, red-lipped smile in her elegant white and black dress, complemented by a matching vintage hat. Delivered personally by the artist at their son’s memorial, this artwork became a poignant final gift from their son. It serves to preserve a cherished moment in time while honoring the enduring love of the Mbele family and the memory of their beloved son.
