Pomegranate is a painting from South African artist Dezireë Smith’s African Woman collection. Originally painted in oils on canvas.

Pomegranate is a quiet, powerful portrait of feminine strength and inner abundance. Shown in serene profile, the woman’s closed eyes suggest reflection and self-possession, while her sculpted posture radiates calm confidence. The richly patterned headwrap—alive with pomegranate motifs—crowns her like a symbol of fertility, creativity, and resilience.

Set against a warm, glowing backdrop, the palette of blush, coral, and earth tones celebrates both softness and strength. Gold earrings echo tradition and heritage, grounding the figure in cultural pride while inviting the viewer into a moment of stillness.

Yours-to-keep reproductions of Pomegranate are available as wearable art, handbags and accessories, art prints and gorgeous homeware pieces.
