Alkebulan by Rix is a powerful contemporary digital artwork exploring origin, identity, and cultural memory. Named after the ancient word for Africa, the composition reflects on place
not only as geography, but as something inherited, remembered, and carried across generations.
Through layered earth tones, flowing forms, and a central, simplified landmass, the work evokes movement, erosion, and continuity. The visual language feels both grounded and expansive, balancing abstraction with recognition to create a piece that resonates quietly rather than demands attention. Subtle texture and restrained colour choices give the artwork a sense of depth and permanence, inviting repeated viewing and reflection.
Produced as a limited edition contemporary digital print, Alkebulan reflects Rix’s ability to merge cultural narrative with modern abstraction, resulting in a work that feels timeless rather than trend-led. It is a piece that holds space — contemplative, assured, and emotionally anchored.
