Chipika Simanwe

I was born in the capital city of Zambia, Lusaka in 1978. I love to experiment in my paintings and recently become fond of abstract painting. This is an ideal vehicle for expressing my inner deep emotions.

I have studied computer graphics right here in zambia and india. I have been a graphic designer for the past 10 years. I have participated in several shows in Zambia and abroad (Japan..Hyogo and Greece...Olympics of visual arts)AWARDS2006Selected Artist - 3rd International Rhodes CartoonExhibition - Greece2005 Selected Artist Hyogo Prefectural Museum - Japan2004 Runner-up in Visiting Arts Artist-in-Residence Contest at Delfina Studios, UK2004 Selected Artist ARTIADE Olympics of Visual Arts-Greece2004 Featured painting on www.faces.fi under FinnishOrganisation - EtnoKult2003 Second Prize winner in Eastern & Southern Africa Anti-Money Laundering Group Logo Competition 2002 Fourth Prize winner in Zambian Guaranteed Logo design Competition1996 First Prize Winner in World AIDS Day poster design competition under Ministry of Health - ZambiaINTERNATIONAL GROUP EXHIBITIONS20063rd International Rhodes Cartoon Exhibition - Greece2005Japan Expo 20052005Hyogo Prefectural Museum - Japan2003 ARTIADE - GreeceSOLO EXHIBITIONS2008 ...
