Stunning Images Of African Orisha Deities You've Never Heard Of Before by Mbeki: 5:15pm On Jul 04, 2015 |
Photographer James C. Lewis went out on a creative limb to re-imagine ancient African Yoruba dieties- the Orisha, using striking models, expert photography, and inventive photo editing techniques. While the true essence of the Orisha is likely poorly understood by most people in the modern world in comparison to their ancient and rich roots in African culture, Lewis creates a stunning visual world that is sure to spark the imagination. As a culture we are quite use to the artistic treatment of religious, spiritual, and mythical entities from Greek ancestral lore, various world religions, and other cultural heroes, yet rarely is the fascinating world of the Orisha the topic of discussion. These images are gorgeous, shocking, and of course an artists interpretation, but hopefully they get your wheels turning in regards to the power, complexity, and richness of Yoruba spiritual symbology and life: http://www.ewao.com/a/1-photographer-creates-stunning-images-of-african-orisha-deities-youve-never-heard-of-before

Wow!!! So beautiful, African mythology is as rich as any other ancient myths. Egypt, Persia, Greece, Asia etc still appreciate their ancient landmarks, they say our own is fetish but they uphold their own. This is a job well done. The characters, the effects, the photography is a work of art, so aesthetic. I love this |
