ABOUT THE ARTWORK

My Brothers Keeper I wouldn't want to tell you how it feels to have someone who's got your back. You might want to remember though of a time u felt protected even when it felt like no one is around. I felt this way when I saw a young Turkana girl carry his brother on her back under the harsh unforgiving African sun, while no one was around and the young man slept soundly asleep. What is it that helps us know that we are in safe hands and selflessly give all our trust? As I painted this picture I remembered of how the ground was dusty and uneven, so I decided to add actual soil to it, to give it textures and depth by feeling so whoever owns this original painting can have the not only the visual but also the feel of touch of the lands barrenness. You dont have to decide which room in your house this painting fits yet, but why is it that the room that reminds you that you are your brothers keeper always seems to be the sitting room? The medium I used to paint this picture is canvas, due to its logetivity and ease of transportation and my paint was oil based.

Hi, my name is Abu Mwenye. I am a Tanzanian American artist living here in the US. My areas of specialty are: Acrylic paintings, oils, commission works, and really anything which challenges my creative mind. My interest in Art was inspired by my Uncle's sketches. As a teenager I took formal art classes to hone my artistic abilities. Later, during my college years I studied sketching and watercolor painting. Now my passion is to paint with oils, acrylic and have been learning and exploring with them for quite awhile. My art depicts all aspects of African life.. My customers love that my work depicts many cultural scenes ranging from realistic portraits of Masai children to more abstracted tribal figures, and also includes realistic African landscapes. My love of art runs deep inside me, and I have an excellent eye for detail which helps to keep my clients happy.
