Meet Anathi — a 450-piece jigsaw puzzle featuring the soul-stirring artwork of South African–born, Melbourne-based artist Mafalda Vasconcelos. Rooted in Mozambican culture and spiritualism, this piece is as meaningful to complete as it is beautiful to display. Whether you're buying it for yourself or looking for a thoughtful gift for an art lover, this puzzle brings something genuinely special to the table.
✨ About the Artwork
Mafalda Vasconcelos uses art to explore her biracial identity and the rich cultural influences that shaped her — growing up in Mozambique, raised by strong women, and guided by the spiritual traditions of the Nharinga people. Anathi doesn't depict a real human figure; it portrays a soul — an ancestor, an emotion, an energy. The colourful geometric shapes and symbols are a visual language Mafalda has developed through years of exploring her diverse heritage. Every piece you place is a piece of that story.
