“I try somehow to express the role women play in society and the way they are being treated- they are still not free”
- Agnes Nyanhongo
The works of Agnes Nyanhongo carry a message of poise, dignity, and compassion. They speak at times as a whisper upon the ear, or as a gentle reassuring tap on the shoulder. Even when the subject matter turns openly political or personal, the message is neither invasive nor abrupt. This is not to say, however, that the implicit voice is to be deemed either shy or bashful, in fact quite the contrary. Her message is clear and spoken deliberately and with quiet confidence. Truly, to experience her work is to experience her character.
Agnes has become one of the most acknowledged and celebrated female artists in all of Africa. Oprah Winfrey and Maya Angelou are among the known collectors of her work.
