ALEXANDRA SPYRATOS
Alexandra resides between her home town Malindi, Kenya, and Byron Bay on Australia’s east coast. With studios in both these exotic corners of the world,
Alexandra paints for exhibitions internationally.
With 23 solo exhibitions, Alexandra has shown her work in New York, Miami, Milan, Nairobi, Malindi, Melbourne, Sydney and Hong Kong.
Inspired by her colourful African background, Alexandra mainly depicts the African wildlife and is known especially for her flamboyant oil paintings of zebras.
Over the years she has developed an unusual contemporary decorative style, bold, textured and uniquely her own.
Her medium, though predominantly oil on canvas, now sees an inspired reach into mixed media, working with gold and silver leaf and fluorescent acrylic,
creating a 3d effect under black light. This technique adds an excitingly new and energetic dimension to her art.
In addition to oil paintings Alexandra also extends her decorative style to produce large and beautiful murals, inspired by her passion for colour and her fun-
loving nature. Her brush stroke has been left on many a wall in Africa, Europe and the USA.
Public mural art:
 Darling Harbour, Sydney
 Bondi Public School, Sydney
 Sydney Fishmarkets
 Kings Cross, Sydney
 Ndebele design, Milan
 Manta mural, Fingerpoint wharf, Sydney.
 Mural of the Manta Ray in Manta Restaurant, Fingerpoint Wharf, Woolamalloo (Sydney, Australia).
In May 2010 Alexandra exhibited at the Nexus Modern Art gallery in Melbourne, where she painted live at the opening.

ANNE MWITI
In the little village of Meru on the slopes of Mount Kenya, a five year old Anne Mwiti made an abstract drawing of a girl. Her father
inspected it and modified it. That was her first art lesson and from then on, she has never looked back.
She has slowly but steadily created a name for herself as an abstract artist whose pieces dwell on African thoughts and exper iences,
brought to life on the canvas by generous amounts of oils.
Anne draws inspiration from numerous sources. This can be seen in her body of works. ‘Looking for the Other Half’ documents the
artists’ belief whereby all beings have a relationship with others and are searching for their other half, making them whole.
The artist is also inspired by nature; this can be seen in her work titled ‘The Blue Valley’ which seeks to show the natural beauty of the
Aberdare Mountains in Rift Valley, with waterfalls and mixed vegetation bringing both man and nature together in celebration.
When at the National Museums of Kenya, Anne created ‘The Meditating Boy’, a painting she attributes to the oldest bones in human
history. Anne is currently a lecturer in the Department of Art and Design at Kenyatta University in Nairobi where she is working on her
PhD. She has won several commissions; her art has been in exhibitions numerous times and has also been sold to private collectors
overseas.

CHURCHILL ONGERE
So far not very involved in showing his work, Churchill has made a lauded entry onto the art scene by displaying at a Nairobi Art Gallery and being
identified by an art scout from Saatchi Gallery for his unique collage art works.
Born in 1991 in Kisumu, Ongere was brought up by an artist father and attributes this as one of the reasons why he decided to pursue art
seriously, as watching his father work inspired him to follow the same path.
Pursuing a Degree in Political Science at Maseno University, Churchill engages other students in art activities as the team leader of an arts group
that was formed in campus to champion the interests of students who create art.
He also runs an art blog and says his works are a collection of ideas, values and personalities he cherishes- as can be seen by the pieces on display
here.
Using the collage technique, Churchill’s works are often visual representations of subjects such as politics, liberty, freedom and beauty.
On whether he intends to keep painting now that he has been producing only collage pieces for the past one year, he says that his art career is
still at its infant stages and intends to use all medium possible, although he finds collage more fulfilling now.

DAVID MAIDEN
David Maiden is a young British artist who was brought up in the beautiful scenery of the Lake District National Park in the north of
England. After University, he spent four years in London exhibiting his work in a number of galleries. Two years ago David and his wife
Joanna decided to pack up their lives in London and move here to the Kenyan coast in search of inspiration for his new work.
Before moving to Kenya, David used to paint almost exclusively in black and white. This quickly changed once he arrived in Africa.
David fell in love with the vibrancy of the bright coastal colours, with the regions rich hues, the variety of landscapes and
the versatility of cultures reflected in the human form. All this has now become characteristic for his art.
David initially trained as a photographer before turning his attention to painting almost 10 years ago. Photography has a big influence
on his work which is often very photographic in detail.
But unlike in photographs, an untamed edge to David’s work makes it all the more fascinating, where his finishing is mostly sketchy and
dreamy. David paints a wide subject matter but specializes in portraits and scenery with some of his portraits having been
commissioned by clients around the world.
In 2017, David was commissioned to paint a portrait of former US Secretary of Defense, Susan Rice, a piece that now hangs at

EVELINE HASSELMAN
After having studied the art of painting under Dutch artist Marion van Nieuwpoort, whose expressive explosions of colour and
movement were her trademark, Eveline Hasselman had the privilege to take part in international master classes by Poen de Wijs, an
exceptional artist renowned for his striking realism.
After having travelled the world for many years, Eveline lived and painted on Diani Beach for over 30 years, endlessly inspired by
Kenya's grand nature, splendid colours and beautiful light. She loves capturing its faces, flowers and wildlife on canvas and paper.
These days she spends time on both north and south coast of Mombasa as well as on Zanzibar Island.
She uses acrylics and soft pastel crayons for paintings and drawings respectively.
Her works of art often combine contrasting techniques of the mentors she was lucky to have for so many years.
Eveline, who was born in The Hague, has exhibited her drawings and paintings successfully in the Netherlands and Kenya. She had a
solo exhibition in 2013 at the United Nations in Nairobi.

IBRAHIM MUWANGA
Born in a family of four children in Kampala, the capital of Uganda, Ibrahim was motivated to start creating art after observing his elder
brother who loved illustrating cartoons.
The artist draws most of his inspiration from African children, where he is constantly trying to tell stories that he believes have never
been told in a more artistic and attractive way.
The source of the stories vary, but most are memories of his journeys on the streets of Kampala, the schools he has attended and some
scenes from everyday life in the African homestead.
Ibrahim’s paintings feature playful, colourful hues that very aptly represent his subjects and the fun in the artwork. He uses them to
symbolize vibrancy and energy and employs the impasto technique, which creates and outstanding visual impression.
Through his work, Ibrahim wants to remind us all about children’s rights and challenges many to take up this duty.
Ibrahim holds a bachelors degree in art and design from the Margaret Trowel School of Art and Design, Makerere University.

LIONEL GARANG
Garang started moving around the markets that are on the outskirts of Nairobi CBD with his bicycle collecting the nylon sack
cloth. With a sack in hand and a vegetable vendor to assist him, he started building affordable kiosk for market vendors in
2016.
With the experience he got from working with the vendors he gained an aesthetic appreciation for the material and begun
researching and experimenting with different techniques and different types of paints on the material.
With his background in graffiti art and matatu painting, Garang was able to create his own unique style that combines an
appreciation for modern city life in Africa by incorporating a unique method of using spray paints on plastic sack material.
Garang’s pieces leave the viewers with a positive feeling because of the words on the work and the materials he uses, despite
how one might interpret the image accompanying it. Although simple, it is an image that seems to draw the viewer in again
and again, and each time the message comes with a different and clearer meaning.
Lionel’s choice of material and style encourages the viewer’s curiosity to explore a completely new perspective or ideas of
street art.
Lionel was born in Nakuru in 1989 and is a self-taught artist.

MARTIN ONYIS
Onyis Martin is an up and coming but very talented artist who has taken an interest in waste materials. He sees the essence in them
and uses them creatively in his art.
Onyis uses mixed media in his pieces like khanga paper, polythene bags and recycled tubes. This medium also expresses the daily living
experiences of his surroundings.
Onyis’ paintings are flavoured with love; its opposites and its parallels. In them, he breaks down life into love and hate. For him, love
and hate live together and one is not just the opposite of the other. He feels that everything that happens in this world is based on
these two emotions!
He paints based on his life experiences, trusting his own inner eye, dipping the brush into his soul, the place where both love and hate
reside, to bring out the absolute reality of his own world and anyone who connects with it.
Onyis also makes beads using recycled materials and he commits his time to teach children and youth in the community as a way of
making sure that the next generation gains general life skills as artists.
Onyis Martin lives and works in Nairobi.

MELUSINE TOWLER
Mélusine’s art has been shaped and developed by truly international influences throughout her life. Born in Caracas in 1973, she
moved to London at an early age.
She was greatly inspired by her Russian grandfather who instilled in her a particular love of the theatre. Her work also took her to
Budapest, where she designed a set for the Centre for British Culture, Arts and Studies. But it is in Kenya, where she moved with her
family in 2004, was the country to have the greatest influence of all on her artwork, particularly in terms of subjects.
Mélusine’s work in Kenya has been varied but always creative, from designing Christmas Crackers, to children’s fashion, to interior
design. She the Melusine founded AIA, Art in Africa and had her first exhibition, ‘Rain Drops’, at the Purdy Arms, Karen in 2013.
The inspiration Mélusine’s ‘No Fools Series’ paintings came about by observing the Kenyan sociopolitical landscape, it’s characters and
the roles they play. The artist explains that through propaganda and sideshows, politicians lead the country to view matters in their
way, yet in all this, they are no fools, constantly adapting to suit themselves and keep their positions in society.
When asked about her work, she says; “My paintings are observations of characters and cultures, intertwined and seen from all angles.
Inherently theatrical, they are reflections of many faces, good and bad, comic and tragic, like the dramatic masks themselves.”

NADIA KISSELEVA
In 1980, Nadia left her homeland of Russia for Africa. Her experience in Africa has been a major influence on Nadia's work. It provided
for the development of the vivid and intense colour palette and the strong dramatic contrasts in her paintings. It also introduced a
number of new themes and concepts to her artistic range.
Hers is a spontaneous style of painting which is easily recognizable. It also strongly reflects her daring and expressive personality. As an
artist, Nadia endeavours to challenge the norms that abound in art and question the boundaries of her own artistic routine.
Nadia has over time flourished as an artist and in 2003 she was awarded the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists Prize for the most
innovative painting. In the year 2006 Nadia successfully graduated from Wimbledon School of Art (University of Arts London) with BA
in painting and a year later completed her studies at the Camberwell College of Art (University of Arts London)
She has taken part in numerous group exhibitions (over two hundred) and has had over a dozen of successful solo shows in Kenya and
the UK. In 2002 she was elected as a member of the Royal Birmingham Society of artists (RBSA)
Kisseleva is also an active member of the Birmingham Society of Artists. Her work can be found in private collections in the United
States, the United Kingdom, Kenya, Denmark, Austria and other countries. In 2009 she was named by Gallery 94, London, as one of
three most promising woman painters in London art scene in the exhibition ‘Three Women Artists’. Her work is on permanent dis play
at the State House, Nairobi.
Nadia received her formal training at Ryazan College of Art in Russia and now lives and works in Diani Beach, on the South Coast of

PETER ELUNGAT
Peter Elungat is one of the most prominent artists in East Africa. He is sometimes described as a reincarnation from the great classical
ages.
Peter is a self taught artist, who creates masterpieces that present a common theme: women; romantically, dramatically, exotically,
compassionately, billowing hair in flowing robes all painted with an element of fantasy and weightlessness oozing from all canvases he
puts his brush on.
Yet, Peter says that he only paints one woman – Angelina.
She is Peter’s alter ego; footloose and fancy-free, cavorting around the canvas in his stead. She is the projection of his inner state
rendered in oil on canvas – a fabulous device for exploring the self without the inhibition of self-consciousness.
Back in the day, the Madonna like Angelina floated on canvases, with soft and vulnerable beauty that was independent of the artist.
Today, she has become a split entity of the artist – a reflection of his thoughts and critical events in his life.
Peter Elungat was born in 1978 in Teso District, Western Province. The eighth child of a dozen siblings, he was mentored by his older
brother. He started painting in the 1990s and joined Kuona Trust in 1997, where he attended many instructional workshops, which
remain his only formal training in art.

RICHARD KURIA
Richard Njogu is a 23 year old artist, raised in Bungoma town. He started painting at an early age but discovered a deeper love for it while in high
school, where art was offered as part of the course work.
His four years of artistic practice so far has seen him attempt various techniques. Until recently, almost all of his artworks were in graphite and
charcoal. But in early 2015, he started experimenting with different techniques and mediums, including acrylic paints and oil pastels.
So far, Richard has been able to participate in various group exhibitions and has successfully hung a collaborative exhibition, titled ‘’The Untold
Exhibition’’ in August 2015.He also participate in a joint exhibition with Clavers Odhiambo in February 2016, titled “The Red Exhibition”
The artist says he has a deep desire to be creative, which means that he finds himself experimenting a lot with different mediums and techniques.
He believes that having a range of original and new ideas and concepts is conducive for growth as an artist.
Various music genres are also a big part of his artistic life, mainly as a source of inspiration. To combine those two factors (art and music), Richard
decided to use vinyl records on which he painted various musical icons as a way of celebrating the influence they have had on people all over the
world.
Richard is highly intrigued by human figures, especially female forms, where he tries to capture light and shadow, the texture, the form and the
shapes of human figures. In his opinion, it is the beauty of light that makes a work realistic. The body language and the emotions also play an
important role in the figurative paintings he has done.

TINGATINGA ART FROM TANZANIA- THE STORY
From very humble beginnings, Edward Saidi Tingatinga became world famous. Unfortunately , his life was cut short after an accidental
shooting, yet, the art of painting he developed makes him live among lovers of art forever.
In early 1968 he started painting by using brush and cheap oil colours like bicycle paint. He painted animals and other scenes and
motifs on square hard boards, and this style was later attributed to him by reference to his name. In 1972 he secured a job at the
Muhimbili Medical Centre in Dar es Salaam but he continued to paint and sell his paintings.
Soon after, a tourist who had bought one of his ‘Tinga Tinga Art’ paintings introduced him to the then National Arts Company. The
company became very interested in Tingatinga’s paintings and it was agreed that Tingatinga should supply them with his work. This
enabled him to become financially secure and meant he could live entirely on painting Tinga Tinga art. Tingatinga also took several of
his young relatives on as apprentices. At first, they were just helping him with his work however later he began encouraging them to
do their own paintings.
One Saturday night, in 1972, Tingatinga met his untimely and tragic end aged only 40. His son Daudi is presently an active member of
the Tingatinga community.
The paintings in this catalogue represent the style that he passed on and has now blossomed. It is well loved world over and although
Edwards Saidi Tingatinga is no longer alive, his memory is kept alive by his style of art.

CONTEMPORARY ART
ADONIAS OCOM
The figurative artist and photographer Ocom Adonias says his father and elder brother introduced him into the world of arts and
greatly inspired him. Over time, the education at school greatly influenced him as he learnt about the art and language movement
of great artists such as George Kyeyune and Taga Nuwagaba.
Currently painting from Karewu Art Studio, Adonias is working in oils, watercolour and some other medium such as acrylics. His
work engages in the realistic presentation of the lives of the common man and his heritage.
The underlying intention is to tell stories about his experiences and the lives of people that he has met. Adonias’ interest in the
common man has led to current artistic research about his heritage and to the creation of his latest painting series “Save
Karamoja,” a project which is aiming to create a positive image of Karamoja and conserving the heritage.
Ocom has worked as a photographer, too, before he decided to focus on his painting career. He has participated in various
exhibitions, mainly in Uganda and in Kenya. His work has also graced the cover of Uganda’s Arts Diary 2015.
Adonias was born in Kireka in 1989 and in 2013 he graduated from Margaret Trowell School of Industrial and Fine Arts at Maker ere
University.
When asked about his artistic base, Ocom says, “My work is a journey of exploration in which other travelers are essential. It’s an
art of healing.”

ADRIAN NDUMA
Adrian Nduma has earned his place as one of the promising collectable artists in Kenya as work by the artist sold at a private sale in
2012 for Sh2.2 million.
Nduma attributes his technique to influences from his former career. “Having been in advertising, form is of the essence,” he explains.
He has worked with many companies in Kenya developing graphics for their advertising campaigns.
With that background in advertising and graphics Nduma’s composition, form and colour are rather unique.
Colour, beauty and abstraction are Adrian Nduma’s pillars - art for the sake of art. If you’re familiar with Adrian’s work then you know
just how playfully he steers his palette.
His trance-inducing style is largely surrealistic and abstract. He also likes to experiment with various media and styles in his paintings.
The former banker holds a degree in fine art from Kenyatta University.
Having focused on full-time painting ten years ago, Nduma’s style is consistently evolving.

ANWAR NAKIBINGE SADAT
Born into a creative family, his mother being a fashion designer, Anwar Sadat is the 4th born in a family of seven- 3 brothers and 4 sisters, of whom 3
brothers and 2 sisters are artists and fashion designers.
Anwar Sadat Nakibinge does not know how to not be an artist. As a child growing up in Kampala, Uganda, he put pencil to any surface within reach: writing
on walls, drawing on his skin, sketching his own shadow on the ground.
He now is a full time visual artist/fashion/interior and exterior designer and the Director and Curator of Ivuka Arts Uganda, Gecko Art Gallery.
'Art is unquestionably one of the purest and highest elements in human happiness; it trains the mind through the eye, and the eye through the mind. As the
sun colours flowers, so does art colour life. Art is a passionate journey that started at a point not known, to me its a journey to my soul, journey that lifts my
spirit, journey full of hope, art is music, music with no voices, drums, guitars, key boards, no conductors.
My subject matter sometimes resolves around women, as they are the natural treasures we should be proud of; sadly, their rights have been trampled upon.
Other times I tend to paint works addressing key issues in our community and social well being like environmental change, form integration to disintegration,
from discrimination to unification and from destruction to transformation
I analyze personal feelings and inspirations directly from nature and even enjoy creative methods of achieving a result-orientated utilization of various
materials. I don’t like waste. I like to feel the material and texture, to get in discussion with it, to produce sensuality in form and surface and to make the
viewer curious about the beyond.

BAHARADDIN ADAM
Although Baharaddin ‘Bahar’ Adam has travelled the world, he likes to use the colour palette of his homeland of North Sudan for his
bright abstract artworks.
His artistic journey has taken him to various countries, among others Japan, Kenya, USA, Syria, Egypt, France and Canada. Whereas
these have acted as eye openers, Bahar’s style has not greatly veered away from that of his homeland of Sudan.
Acrylics are his preferred medium as he looks to convey his heartfelt messages about the community he was brought up in. His pieces
concern themselves with the social, political and economical state of his people.
Bahar was born in Malakal, Sudan and holds a B.A. in Industrial Design from the College of Fine and Applied Arts, Sudan Unive rsity of
Science and Technology, Khartoum, Sudan.
Working previously as a designer for companies in Sudan and Egypt, Bahar started exhibition in Khartoum in 1996 and has not looked
back since.

BEN PLAYLE
The artist and furniture designer Ben Playle draws his influence from the traditional African designs of the communities in w hich he
lives. For the past two years he has developed his own style of stenciling, observing urban and rural life on the move in Kigali, Rwanda.
Ben graduated from Leeds Metropolitan University in 1997 with a degree in 3D design, specializing in furniture. He then joined a
community art group working with local councils and schools in Brighton, England. The workshop was established shortly after,
designing one-off pieces and furniture on commission.
He has since taken his workshop to Swaziland, Ethiopia and Rwanda, countries in which he has lived and worked since 2001.
Always keen to pass on skills to others, Ben led the ‘Good Wood’ movement in Addis Ababa, training up furniture cooperatives to
produce high quality designs for local sale.
Ben has had three solo art exhibitions in Rwanda, using the graffiti artist medium of spray cans and stencils. The Cans to Canvas series
captures life in the densely populated hills of Rwanda, where the bicycle taxi is the main source of transportation.
His work is a familiar sight in galleries in Kigali, with profiles in local media including the East African and Rwandan New Times. The
fourth and final Cans to Canvas exhibition will be held in Kigali mid-year.
Ben will soon move to New York, where he will continue to use the medium of spray can art to capture observations of city life.

COLLIN SEKAJUGO
We tend to become constrained in our heritage and cultural backgrounds, but Collin believes that when culture dictates a lot in our daily
livelihoods, we eventually lose our moral values as subjected to the world we live in today.
The artist has learned that various traditions have over time been ignored, dismantling societies and building up new cultures. Many
have lost their cultural heritage and assimilated new cultures and others are born in a mixture of cultures hence losing cultural identity.
Collin relays that even though he is born of men and women whose blood is rooted in the reaches of the upper Nile, his work has less to
do with his ancestry or cultural heritage. It’s about his surroundings, experiences and emotions. He has focused on change in society
because it is rapid and solid. His art is about social conscience and healing.
Raising awareness for issues concerning our breaking societies: from discrimination to segregation, from environmental change to
isolation and from disintegration to integration. Through his work, he is developing concepts on the elements that build or destroy our
societies.
This message is portrayed in his artwork- bold strokes in mild hues that are a demonstration of the current social transformation. In
Collin’s work, he is stitching together different identities that create a bond for our common values as a people.

DAMBA ISMAIL MUSOKE
Damba Ismail Musoke was born in 1982 in Rubaga, Kampala, Uganda. He joined Makerere University’s Margaret Towell’s school of
Industrial and Fine Art in 2002 and graduated in 2005 with a BIFA hons. majoring in Illustrations and Drawing.
At the Ngoma International Artists workshops, an organization that promotes young and established Ugandan artists, Damba
participated in exhibitions exposing him to the world of art beyond boarders.
Ismail has been exhibiting since 2002, and participated in the East Africa Art Biennale in 2005 and 2007. In 2007 he was also featured in
an exhibition of Ugandan artists in Denmark and has won several prizes and awards for painting and print making.
” Everything I do in my art is about belief, the ability to accept what I feel inside as well as what I see all around me, to have faith in it,
and to document what I see and feel through the medium of my art.
My images – especially of birds – are metaphors for this. My themes are the challenges of the society and of the environment I live in:
Culture, politics and economies, the effects of globalization; people, their activities and opinions, their perceived social status, and the
political hopelessness I too often sense here; the fate of our wildlife and the state of the natural world.
Line and colour are the common constituents of all art but the real essence for me is the relevance of the statement contained within.

DENNIS MURAGURI
Dennis Muraguri is a Kenyan artist who was born in 1980 in Naivasha. He attended the Buru Buru Institute of Fine Arts in Nairobi
between 2000-2003, where he graduated top of his class and attained a Diploma in Painting and History of Art.
Muraguri says he finds the overall inspiration for both his paintings and sculptures in globalization.
The message in Muraguri’s work is positive and reflective, it tells the story that Africa is no longer the ‘Dark Continent’ but it is
becoming more and more modernized and affected by technology.
Please go to page 169 to view Muraguri’s sculptures. His works are a representations of the industrialization in Kenya and most of
them are inspired by music, as can be seen his use of parts of instruments or metal shaped as such.
All sculptures are mixed media where wood and metal are combined. The metal used represents the people who manufacture all kinds
of things. The wood, on the other hand, symbolizes the natural side of life.

EVARIST CHIKAWE
Evarist Chikawe’s paintings are based on Tanzania’s rich culture and traditions, trying to preserve these age-old cultural roots. The artist
is inspired by strong colours that are normally seen from the dressing of Tanzanians, especially women. He mostly engages in figurative
drawings of the human form because he believes that his life revolves around that of other people.
Evarist says that the human figures in his paintings give people an opportunity to easily understand the subjects he wants to portray, as
they are easy to relate to from the beholders eye. And although Chikawe’s style keeps on evolving, he keeps true to his chosen subject
of figurative drawing.
Insisting that he engages in art for his own gratification, as his paintings bring him a sense of joy as he completes them, Chikawe also
states that he sells his work because he believes art is there to be shared.
Evarist was born in Dodoma, Tanzania in 1974. After having spent time painting in his youth, Evarist started exhibiting his works at the
age of 23. Asked about his life as an artist he says: “Art is good and I am happy being an artist.”

Born 1953 Nairobi, Kenya Shah holds a degree in English Literature and Fine Arts and also has a postgraduate Diploma in Textile
Design from the University of Leeds, U.K.

Goethe-Institute in 2005, Kamal Shah is a renowned artist whose mixed media work is very much recognized.

KIRAN AHLUWALIA
Kiran Ahluwalia is a child of many nations, having been born in the UK and raised in Tanzania. The artist now lives in Kenya’s capital;
Nairobi.
By trade, Kiran is a photographer and a graphic designer, two facets of art that she is passionate about.
She has an amazing eye for the right frame and tries to capture the essence of a moment with each of her photographs. This way, Kiran
creates elaborate stories through the lens of her camera, which she then enhances by playing with light, shadows, hues and colours to
create the desired effect.
The bright colours that characterize her photographs are reminiscent of the Indian Ocean, and are the same colours which are
representative of the positive chakras (in Indian thought-centres of spiritual power).
Kiran’s images have been portrayed on designer scarves & sarongs. They have also been displayed on canvas, created as gift items and
as home décor.

From extremely humble beginnings as a street child to earning a PhD and teaching at the Makerere University, Kizito Maria Kasule of
Uganda has made a name for himself as one of Africa’s Premiere artists. He is a graduate of the same University, and has been
professionally involved in Art since obtaining his Bachelor’s in Fine Arts in 1993. In 2003 he obtained a PhD in Fine Arts.
Kizito has been described as the “Picasso of Africa” and his oil paintings are in the homes of many distinguished diplomats, hotel and
bank lobbies in Germany, Kenya, Canada, Kampala, South Africa, Entebbe, Denmark and recently Namibia, in the Terra Africa House.
Dr. Kizito Maria Kasule’s dedication to the development of the Arts in his home country has been manifested in the foundation and
establishment of Uganda’s first Academy of Art and Design in 2008, the ‘Nagenda International Academy of Art Design’ (NIAAD).
NIADD not only includes art history, oil painting, sculpting and textile design in its curriculum but also builds new connections and
networks with Universities around sub-Saharan Africa and internationally. These networks help to facilitate international student and
teaching exchange programs. It is an institution that could become the model art academy in Africa, under the visionary stewardship of
Mr. Kasule.

LONGINOS NAGILA
Longinos Nagila was born in Busia, Kenya, in 1986. His family moved to Kenya’s capital Nairobi shortly after he was born and it was
here that he first worked with other children to make toys of clay soil during the rainy seasons.
Nagila is a visual artist whose work embodies his interest in socio-economic situations in life, while at the same time trying to provoke
thoughts that are driven towards the judgment of these situations.
Considering his paintings as a platform for conversation from within an individual or between two or more people, his main subject is
the human form.
Sometimes he chooses to add protective objects like gas masks or even blocks out the eyes of the depicted person, depending on their
status - current or former- in the society. This is mostly achieved by using mixed media.
His sources of inspiration are endless; however, he is deeply interested in children and women as he sees them as sources vessels and
of life.
Longinos held his first solo exhibition in Lecce Italy in 2009-2010, since then he has continued to exhibit in Italy. In 2012-2013 he was
one of the artists who exhibited at the Museo Africano in Verona, Italy, together with Kikoko from Togo.
In 2014 he held a first solo exhibition at Shift Eye Gallery in Nairobi, Kenya.

MICHAEL SOI
Born in 1972, Michael graduated from art school in 1996 and now works as a full time artist in Nairobi, Kenya.
Michael worked with Kuona Trust from 1996 to 2009. He was the coordinator in charge of International Exchange of the Wasanii
International Artists’ Workshop and The International Artist Residency in Kenya.
He says his work is as simple as can be. ‘I try to create an attitude of what you see might be what you get from it. I am involved in work
that deletes, distorts and changes various images into what I want them to be, and am excited by the subtle play that erasure seems to
create when executed in certain ways.’
‘My work mostly touches on issues related to the youth like fashion trends, music and life in general. It is not about the sup pression of
images or the negation of what the image represents, but is about obscuring the images in order to create a different relationship
between the final piece and the viewer.’

MOHAMAD SEBANDEKE
Sebandeke is a creative Ugandan artist who showed exceptional talent at an early age. He comes from a family with artistic pedigree
and he frequently watched his mum produce various designs and motifs on textile.
His defining moment came at the age of 16 when he decided to be a full-fledged artist after witnessing the success of his two older
brothers in the art industry; and since then he has come to grow in leaps and bounds.
Sebandeke’s subjects revolve around life and the activities that take place in his immediate environment and places he has visited. He
brings together his subjects in a beautiful fusion of mellow colours and mostly weaves his magic using acrylic paints that show his
background in making motifs.
The artist was born in 1991 and has had several exhibitions both in Uganda and internationally. These include; Morocco, The U.A.E.,
Zambia, Zagreb, Japan, Kenya, Zanzibar, Japan, Turkey, Germany, Tanzania, Rwanda, USA among others.

NEGA YILMA
Nega Yilma, the founder and proprietor of Nega Art, was born and raised In Ethiopia and has been a household name among those practicing art
in the horn of Africa. He has lived in Ethiopia and Kenya for years and is inspired by the colors and scenery of his adopted country.
His career goal has been to take realities into the abstract form, carrying the audience with him into a new way of seeing the things around them.
In exhibiting his art work in Kenya, he is looking forward to contributing his own abstract voice to the artistic expression of the country.
As a native of Ethiopia, Mr. Nega’s paintings suggest the spirit of Africa with glowing colors and the frequent use of traditional African character.
He favors the impressionist style of painting and uses what he describes as irregular and impulsive brush strokes. Through this come the
enjoyment of showing artistic impression of his paintings and his works depicting African illustration.
Music is another part of his life, like his painting playing instruments and writing forms part of his lavish lyrics. Mr. Nega has been painting since
his childhood involving different competitions at national and international level.
Nega says; “All abstract art comes from the realistic world, and the degree of abstraction and the strength of expression comes from what is
inside.”
He holds a Bachelor Art Degree in Fine Arts; he has taken part in the International Artist exhibition in Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, South Africa, and
France as well as throughout Europe and the USA.

RONALD KERANGO
Ronald Kerango has always had a strong desire to express himself. He has also tried to create artwork from materials found within his
immediate environment as he felt he related to them and they were part of his life.
As time has gone by, Kerango’s art has often sought to investigate the way in which different materials ‘behave’ in the process of self
expression. He has also deduced that different materials could be used in setting the tone of the expression to be conveyed even
before the artist puts paint to canvas.
This is evident in his work now, as different colour palettes of traditional pieces of materials are used as the background of his work.
This creates a much textured finish and an exciting composition.
Kerango also seeks to tackle sensitive social issues such as gender. In his most recent pieces, he highlights the need for ge nder equality
in Uganda by using the female form as an inspiration to his pieces.
“Ro” as he is famously known among his peers was born in 1984 in Kampala and attended the prestigious Margaret Trowel School of
Industrial and Fine Arts at Makerere University and obtained a Bachelor’s Degree.
In 2014, “Ro” was featured among the top 10 contemporary artists in Uganda by the Culture Trip

SSALI YUSUF
Ssali Yusuf is a Ugandan artist born in 1983 at Kireka, Wakiso district. He studied Industrial & Fine Arts graduating with a BA Degree
from Makerere University in Uganda.
Ssali started painting full time in 2003, after he had practiced his skills with different artists in Uganda. His inspiration comes from day
to day activities done mainly by African women and cultural goings-on in African societies.
Yusuf uses oil and acrylic on canvas, but once in a while he likes to use bark cloth, a popular medium in his homeland. His paintings are
rich in dark hues of royal purple and navy blue, with generous additions of warm shades to create a buffet of colour that is
unmistakably the artist’s signature.
He has exhibited his works at numerous galleries including the Makerere University art gallery, Tulifanya Art Gallery, Afriart Gallery, Aid
child, Gallery Watatu Nairobi, RAMOMA Museum of art Nairobi, Evere commune Brussels Belgium, Rue-Dela Madeleine 17, Brussels,

SUE MAAS
The second of eight children, Sue was born to parents that were both creative, especially her mother, who was an accomplished
portrait painter and sculptor. Her dad introduced them to the great outdoors and this is where her love of wildlife and nature was
born.
Sue draws her inspiration from all creation. The diverse characteristics of nature; flora and fauna, and the feeling of satisfaction that
she gets from creating these stories on a surface using a handful of tools drive her.
Working mostly in realism and using oils, Sue hopes to draw the viewer into her world to impart to the onlooker the beauty of the
created world of wildlife and of human beings. She would like to inspire humankind to be aware of the beauty and that we as the
'keepers' of this planet have the responsibility to safe it for future generations.
Sue was born in 1949 in Mutare, Zimbabwe and studied graphic art at the Bulawayo Art School, Zimbabwe. She is well travelled and
has had stays in Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Lesotho and South Africa. When asked about her undeniable talent and what is behind it,
Sue simply answers; ‘It is in my blood!’

YASSIR ALI
Yassir Ali is a Sudanese artist who is currently living in Nairobi, Kenya. He graduated in 1997 from the Fine Art Department of Sudan
University for Science and Technology.
His art work is inspired by Nubian culture. He uses the Nubian motifs colours and atmosphere. His paintings are intense and full of
texture dotted with patches of vibrant paint on an already bright canvas. Yassir’s work is loaded with colours of blue, red, ochre and
orange. ‘These are the colours of the Nubian people and they occupy the subject in my works’.
On why all his art works are untitled, the artist says “I do not like confining my ideas to a subject. My art can speak for itself without me
having to interpret it to anyone.”
Since 1998 Yassir has been involved in many projects for Sudanese children, for example Nafage Art Workshop at Abd elKarim
Mirghani Cultural Center (AKMCC), Sudan. He is also responsible for promoting help for displaced and deprived children since 2000 for

YONAS MELESA
Born in Ethiopia, Yonas started his artistic journey at a young age and says that science aims to know, while art endeavors to express, a
school of thought that he feels is open to all.
As an artist whose style is that of minimalism, where less is more, he says he draws a lot of inspiration from both natural and artificial
forms, mostly geometrical in nature.
Yonas uses art as a channel of expression to deal with his inner conflicts, fears and tensions as well as show his audience what he
aspires to, hopes for while also highlighting his personal ideals.
As a full time studio artist who uses a range of media, he hopes that his work may reflect his convictions and enforce positive social
change.
Yonas was born in 1982 and holds a Graphics Diploma from The Entoto College of Fine Art and Design in Ethiopia.

ZERIHUN SEYOUM
Zerihun Seyoum has been interested in art for nearly as long as he can remember, and since the age of 7 has focused his attention on art almost exclusively.
By the time he was 13 years old Zerihun had won a prestigious art award from the Ethiopian Ministry of Education, for a drawing that advocated for people in
Ethiopia living with HIV/AIDS, establishing his interest in subjects of a contemporary nature.
Along with his other studies, he immersed himself in art during the four years of his high school education, exploring both drawing and painting. Upon
graduation from high school, Zerihun pursued a diploma in Fine Arts and Design (Painting) at Addis Ababa University, graduating in the year 2000.
Following his studies at Addis Ababa University, Zerihun taught art for three years in various art schools in and around Addis Ababa. Teaching art allowed him
to hone his artistic skills, while nurturing his own passion for art and instilling that passion in others.
With these experiences in mind, Zerihun determined to establish his own studio and teaching centre, which he opened in 2003 and named “Embassy of
Ideas”. Since that time Embassy of Ideas has evolved into an environment that welcomes other artists from Ethiopia and around the world – becoming an
embassy of collaboration and creativity.
Zerihun’s university education introduced him to Western artistic traditions and painting styles, and his early work has a basis in a realistic, representational
approach. After graduation, however, Zerihun found himself returning to stories from his childhood and traditional Ethiopian art forms, while also
incorporating ideas from the Expressionist and other Modern art movements.
This fusion of artistic influence results in a distinctive painting style, in which bold colour and geometric patterning create dynamic figures, shapes and
textures.

‘Jack of all Trades’
The piece is based on how some people

want to do it all, regardless of whether
others can do it better or not. In a political
sense this refers to dictators who want to
run everything their way, which of course is
not the best way of handling things in a
modern society!

‘Obama or The Portrait of a Politician’
This piece is firstly the portrait of Obama,

but deeper still, it is the image of most
politicians. One side of the sculpture shows a
politician with a microphone, symbolizing
the media. The media portray their
opponents as the beast [back side of the
sculpture] but in the end they are one and
the same and if tables were turned the latter
would do the same. The chain symbolizes
the fact that politicians are also slaves to
their politics.

EMMANUEL LWANGA
Born and raised in Mutundwe, a Kampala suburb, the third child of 10, Emmanuel’s love for sculpting developed at an early age when he
discovered that he could make figures out of the ant-hill soil in the home garden and that they would dry to a state of permanency when left out
in the scalding sun.
Because the Ugandan education system does not emphasize sculpture in the early years of school, he was formally introduced to sculpture in
2003 after joining Michelangelo School of creative Arts for a diploma in art and design.
It is there that he produced his first ever sculpture under the kind tutorship of Henry Mujuzi Kipemba. Working with several sculptors has
exposed him to various techniques and given him a chance to develop my skills.
Emmanuel is a multi-medium, multi-style sculptor, whose work ranges from traditional figurative and portraiture to representational abstracts.
Targeting mainly social issues, he loves working with a variety of materials but with a stronger attachment to clay.
This has mainly been so because he feels that clay provides him with various alternatives due to its flexibility and avails several outcomes both
expected and unexpected.
Emmanuel says that each work challenges the viewer to ponder their shared journey. No two people experience anything exactly the same, and
yet a perfect stranger can walk up to a piece of art and experience a connection.
The artist graduated in 2006 with a Kyambogo University Diploma and a Degree in Industrial and Fine arts from Makerere University, graduating
in 2013 with a First class honors degree.

GAKUNJU KAIGWA
Gakunju Kaigwa has been sculpting since the early 1980s after receiving a Bachelor of Education degree in Fine Arts from Kenyatta
University. He later obtained a Master’s Degree in Fine Arts from the University of Dundee in Scotland.
With his extensive experience at academies and apprenticeships in Europe and the United States, Gakunju may well be the most
versatile sculptor in Nairobi.
His materials range from stone, wood and bronze, to steel, resin and fibre-glass. He sees his artistic role as that of a storyteller and
feels that he has been given a unique opportunity to chronicle and comment on the times in which he lives in a visual and tangible
format.
He is interested in the limitless potential of mixed media and plans to take his work to a larger scale, possibly as commissioned in
public spaces throughout Kenya.

KEPHA MOSOTI
As a youth, Kepha started honing his artistic skills by figure, nature and landscape drawing, but the urge to sculpt grew more and more as
years went by. He is now one of Kenya’s foremost sculptors.
Nyanza province and Kisii in particular, where Kepha was born and raised, has a rich history of curving and sculpting, and this had a great
influence in his career as an artist.
His wooden and mixed media sculptures are characterized by a blend of both realism and abstract forms. Using fire sometimes, he
achieves remarkable results as the wood and its features are accentuated by burning them and later brushing off the edges.
On occasion, Kepha downs his sculpting tools and takes on brushes and paints, a practice he says is liberating. He however leans more
toward sculpting as he feels 3 dimensional pieces readily express emotion, including features and expressions on the human face. He
favors the human form too saying he relates to it better than anything else.
Kepha also makes exemplary pieces based on footwear, with some that have socio-political stories behind them. The sculptor is heavily
inspired by fellow Kenyan artists Cyrus Kabiru and particularly Dennis Muraguri, who he shares similar themes. He holds a Diploma in Fine
Arts from the Buruburu Institute of Fine Arts and currently works on his pieces at his studio in the Kenyan capital; Nairobi.

MAGGIE OTIENO
A graduate of Creative Art Centre Nairobi, Maggie Otieno is one of a few female sculptors in Kenya. Her journey through sculpture
started in 1996 when she joined Kuona Trust Studio, then based at the National Museums of Kenya.
Maggie has participated in numerous exhibitions both locally and internationally. She won the Award of Best sculptor in a juried
competition/exhibition, a joint French-German initiative in partnership with the Department of Culture and Kuona Trust in 2006.
Of her sculptures she says: “My work is a description of my thoughts. I work in various mediums, more recently a combination of wood
and metal.”
“I work in different facets, in series, to repeat, to emphasize, to stress and to exhaust my ideas. I like challenging my material other
than letting it challenge me. I instruct it towards my ultimate goal, in order that together the result is neither the expected nor final. I
work best in 3 dimensions and experiment on 2 dimensional works as well. My work mainly captures the human form in abstract
seeking to immortalize the day to day events around me. “
Maggie’s most recent pieces are titled ‘Conversations’. It is all about talking without meaning, a trend mostly seen in our political and
religious arena.

PATRICK MULONDO
Patrick Mulondo is one of Uganda’s youngest yet most promising talents- he fuses a burning love for sculpting and a great talent for
visual arts in a highly dynamic way.
Patrick is intrigued by the challenge of creating entirely unique pieces from a largely random collection of discarded objects by welding,
and is particularly fond of the human form.
Mulondo feels that giving these old, common items a new and extraordinary life in the form of sculpture is artistically very challenging,
yet he gets a huge sense of gratification from the process and ultimately the completion of his breathtaking works.
The artist also designs his pieces so that they can be highly interactive and prompt viewers to question the reality of what they see.
Some are left unfinished to add to the element of mysticism that he seeks to convey.
When asked what drives him, Mulondo says, “My classmate reactions fuel my motivation.” One look at any of the sculptor’s piec es and
you will understand why!
Mulondo was born in Uganda in 1989 and holds a Bachelor degree in Fine Arts degree from Makerere University.

PIM NICOLAI
The architect, designer and sculptor Pim Nicolai has worked on some of the most unique properties throughout Africa and
describes his projects as having been inspired by indigenous architecture.
Living more than 20 years in Kenya while designing and realizing exclusive real estate, he has often found himself developing some
of the most remote locations in Africa.
This vast knowledge of African design can be seen in his otherworldly sculptures and creations that are exhibited both at the gallery
and in numerous other establishments on the continent.
Being inspired by his creative wife Muthoni Mahinda and the rich cultural heritage of Africa, he is now focused on creating art for
interiors
Admiring the simplicity of African rural life, he incorporates the basic natural elements like wood, stone and metal in his work, more
recently producing coconut sculptures and chandeliers.
Pim Nicolai was born in the Netherlands, lived in the US and studied in Paris, France. He also attended the Free Art Academy in
Amsterdam studying monumental Arts.

‘Breasts Of Life’
Breasts of Life’ tell a story originating

from Malawi, a country where breasts
only come second to god. They provide
life and thus are particularly revered.
Proof of this can be seen all over the

country as various structures are
decorated with breasts, including
doorposts, windows and with sculptures
depicting the same a common sight.

TOM ONEYA
There are very few clay sculptors in developing countries like Kenya. This is because the
training is not diversified enough to show and encourage the potential of artists and to
help further their talents.
However, born in the early 1960’s Tom Otieno Oneya already developed a strong interest in the art of clay sculpture in his young
childhood years. He had no proper art teacher throughout his primary level of education, a factor that did not hinder the progress of
his unique talent in working with this medium.
A new wind of positive transformation on Oneya’s quality of art blew when he joined Nyabondo High School for his secondary
education.
At this school Tom managed to join a group of young and talented artist under the tutelage of the late Father Leo Bartels of Nyabondo
Mission in Kisumu district. Under the guidance of Father Leo, Tom could develop and hone his skills in the fine art of clay sculpturing.
After completing his secondary education Tom joined the Agoro Sare High school. He was admitted as the only student for the subject
of Art. The lack of peers did not discourage him in his passion for the subject, and he enjoyed the focus and attention of an art teacher
hired especially for him.
Finally, Oneya joined the Kenya Polytechnic in 1989 for his Diploma Course in Graphic Design. Tom decided to become a fulltime artist
after he successfully completed his college training and now works full time as a clay sculptor.

BARRY KOENECKE
Barry Koenecke tells us that he was born in Kisumu but moved to Mombasa when he was only seven days old. Raised at the Kenyan
coast, he loves walking the streets of our coastal towns, taking photos of every day coastal scenes. Most of his shoots are executed in
Lamu, Zanzibar or Malindi.
With beautiful compositions; a black and white image of a lonesome boat bobbing in humble waters or a colourful coastal alleyway or
old, ornate doorway, all of Koenecke’s photographs are printed using archival inks on high quality canvas using a technique that makes
a lot of the pictures look like paintings. In this way, they transform from being mere prints to hauntingly beautiful works of art.
Barry has had successful exhibitions all over the country and more recently a one month show at The Talisman Restaurant where his
pieces were well received by art enthusiasts and patrons alike.

CHRISTOPH BRANDL
Throughout his artistic career Christoph Brandl has experimented with mixed media,
among other projects decorating New York’s subway walls with his photo collages in pre-digital times.
After 12 years of living abroad Brandl moved back to his hometown Berlin, Germany, where he photographed unusual places, such as beautiful but deserted
factories or mysterious subway shafts. Since 2010 Brandl has been working with the National German Railway Company (Deutsche Bahn), decorating their
stations with his original artwork.
In 2014, Brandl moved to Kenya to explore an unknown subject: Nature. Upon his arrival in Diani Beach, he felt overwhelmed by the sheer grandezza of
nature and, after some time, realised what is causing this feeling- not the sea, nor the sky, nor the jungles alone, but the experience of all these elements -
simultaneously. “In Limbo” came into existence.
With “In Limbo” Brandl tries to express the elements of sea, land, air - all at the same time. The works he is presenting here consist of different layers. Just like
a painter adds layers of colours to a canvas, Brandl, too, lays (digitally) the different photos on top of each other – keeping each element in limbo. Christoph
Brandl holds a degree in Visual Arts from New York University (1992).

SANAA GATEJA
Sanaa Gateja is an exceptional artist and jeweller and has been nicknamed ‘The Bead King’ in his native Uganda. He derives this name from being the inventor
of beads made from recycled paper which he uses to create pieces of various designs and composition.
As an artist his work ethic and preference for recycled materials suite the global consciousness of present times which highly regard the environment and its
preservation. Quite ironical given he started out as an artist in the 60s!
Sanaa’s artwork could be described as mixed-media experimental abstract art. His pieces emphasize use of beads, bark cloth and sometimes raffia to depict
different scenes that he has encountered.
He says, "Life is a journey with a purpose. The message I bring is visually African. The themes I paint are universally human. Dealing with the materials that
guide me, I talk with you, the observer. We share the energy within us provoked by Art".
Gateja is indeed one of Uganda’s most universally acclaimed artists. Sanaa holds a wealth of experience and has several influences to his work having studied
both in the UK (London college of Art and Design) and in Europe’s culture capital: Florence, at the Universita Internazonale dell Arte.
Currently the only Ugandan exhibiting at the Museum of Arts and Design (MAD) in New York, Sanaa is very active and has exhibited extensively since 1980 in
Uganda, Kenya, Rwanda, UK, USA and Germany among other countries.

EnglishPoint Marina, a flagship multi-million Dollar development in Mombasa. Mr. Gerard Motondi, a
renowned Kenyan sculptor, who has won many awards locally and internationally, was selected amongst many
entries generated from a brief open to East African applicants.
Mr. Motondi sourced the raw stone from a Kenyan quarry, organized transportation to the site and proceeded
to work on the monument in situ until the final sculpture could be revealed by President Uhuru Kenyatta in
2016 in a public ceremony at EnglishPoint Marina.
