All Shades of Iberibe

I was commissioned by U.S publisher Sandorf Passage in 2021 to create book cover art for the debut novel "All Shades of Iberibe" by Nigerian author Kasimma .

For the cover art, I looked to the colors from Akwaete fabrics, Igbo mythology, the Nigerian civil war, Onitsha Market Literature, red cap chiefs and most importantly the synopsis of the book and, excerpts from the story collection. The cover art was adapted for the Croatian translation in 2022.
