    THE CROWN SERIES

    Steve Ekpenisi
    Mixed Media Sculpture (Bronze and Mild Steel), 2023

    “The Crown” is a powerful sculptural piece that draws from ancient symbolism — celebrating the crown as a bearer of prestige, honour, and transformative grace. Rooted in both cultural heritage and spiritual depth, it reflects the idea of a virtuous woman as a crown upon her husband’s head: a source of restoration, strength, and generational impact.

    This piece speaks of legacy, partnership, and the unseen labour of love, a shining light that straightens every curvy path, nurturing peace, growth, and holistic development within the family line.

    Includes Certificate of Authenticity.

    Welded Metal Sculpture, 2007

    “The Dance Leader” is a striking celebration of rhythm, unity, and feminine power. With her shekere in hand, the central figure commands not just the music, but the energy of the ensemble — becoming both muse and conductor. Her presence radiates joy, leadership, and cultural pride, inviting all into a moment of communal movement and celebration.
