“What’s most interesting with my work is its quality to be easily understood by viewers. In my finishing details, I want to have contrast and texture as my trademark style. The combination of dark and light colors, polished and unpolished parts of my sculpture. These are things I feel convey a powerful, differentiating style in my work.”
-- Moses Nyanhongo
He left his rural home and moved to Harare to join his artist siblings - internationally acclaimed sculptors Agnes, Gedion, Wellington and Euwitt. “That is the time I began to work seriously. I had the opportunity to see them work every day and the inspiration grew big from there.”
His inspiration is drawn primarily from both his early rural upbringing. “The rural forest landscape from my early years has a strong influence on my work, my vision.” He is also moved by the human figure, and the day to day interactions and communications of the people around him.
