Ndung’u kinani is a kenyan artist based in Nairobi, Kenya. His art focuses on everyday events surround people with the human figure, nature and lots of colour being his main inspiration. He was born 27 years ago in rural Kenya then later moved to Nairobi at the age of 19. He started playing around with art at a young age and later enrolled in Buruburu Institute of fine art in 2015. During and after completing college, he has done a few group exhibitions at The Kenya National museum’s and Manjano art exhibition, 2018 at the Village market,2018. He will be participating in a group exhibition in the course of the year, and solo exhibitions in the coming year He specializes in oil paintings and mixed media art, his preffered themes include the human figure depicted in the natural context using loose painting knive strokes, seeking to bring out the raw emotions in his paintings, capturing the innate nature of the human existence. He choose oils as his preffered media due to their consistency, brilliance and their slow drying quality that allows him to be sponteneous and make easy changes to the paintings as he see fit. His pallete is diverse usually incorporating neutral, warm and cool colours which presents a greater flexibility in expressing His themes and subject matter. The greatest inspiration in His art is the everyday life of ordinary people that He meets in the streets and there interaction with the surroundings often expressed through colourful backgrounds with random spontenous strokes rather than realistically. He treats paint with a high degree of spontaneity being free and experimental in its application on His canvases and experimenting with different techniques as he goes. Being a kenyan and an African artist one of his aims is to bring out the African feeling in his art and to present this through a contemporary stand point depicting Africa from a modern rather than a traditional point of view
