MAMA LISA
LIMITED EDITION CANVAS PRINT
Mama Lisa is a tribute to the beauty, strength and quiet power of the African matriarch. She represents generations of women whose grace has shaped the very fabric of African culture and wisdom. This piece invites reflection on the mothers and women who carry the world.
Lionel Njefi grew up in Cameroon — a country rich in tradition, spirit, and artistic beauty. After moving to Europe and traveling across North America, he noticed a quiet absence: African stories and aesthetics were missing from everyday spaces. Mama Lisa was founded to change that — to honor heritage and identity through artful design that brings culture home, wherever in the world you are.
Every piece you bring home from Mama Lisa supports something far greater: access to clean, life-sustaining water for children in rural African communities. We contribute 1% of our total revenue to Once Upon A Well, a nonprofit organization focused on building boreholes and creating sustainable water access for schools across underserved regions. A quiet, powerful act of restoration that flows from art into real-world impact. Thank you for being part of that.
