Alkebulan Madonna by Patrick Dougher
Alkebulan Madonna by Patrick Dougher
Alkebulan Madonna is a breathtaking 500-piece puzzle by Patrick Dougher that celebrates the sacred bond between mother and child. “Alkebulan,” the ancient name for Africa, meaning “Mother of Mankind,” grounds this 18x24-inch piece in history and heritage, making it profoundly powerful. The imagery of the Madonna and child beautifully connects to the rich legacy of the African continent.
Intricate patterns and vibrant hues radiate warmth, love, and cultural depth, reflecting the strength and beauty of the maternal spirit.

About Sylvia 'GBaby' Cohen
About Sylvia 'GBaby' Cohen
With an artistic individuality all her own, artist Sylvia “Gbaby” Cohen, founder of Gbaby™, purposes her art as an apparatus built to inspire, encourage, and spark motivation in all that encounter each one-of-a-kind piece. Sylvia continues to stay true to her signature by creating visual eloquence in every bold and powerful image of a woman she paints. With its exclusive hand-painted handbags conquered, the Gbaby™ brand has launched into a new medium to expand the collection.
Gbaby™ took root in the early 2000s when Sylvia’s teenage daughter, Giovonnie Samuels, who was an actress on Nickelodeon’s All That, was looking for a handbag to wear to an awards ceremony. During their search, the mother-daughter duo discovered a void in the fashion industry; there were no handbags or t-shirts that reflected images of beautiful black women. Sylvia’s creative spirit took hold and she painted her first Gbaby™ handbag. It gained instant popularity with the mothers and kids on set and within no time she was spending all her time as “set mom” painting handbags and shirts. Little did she know it would be the first step into building the brand known today as Gbaby™.
