Our featured artist, Martin Matimura, is a bundle of energy and brimming with confidence. He has an inspiring story of rising from humble beginnings as a gardener to becoming a successful sculptor in his own right. Martin shares how he started off working for Lameck Bonjisi as his gardner and eventually becaming his assistant, manager, and confidant. However, with the passing of Lameck Bonjisi, Martin decided to strike out on his own, feeling that he could not continue to work in the shadows of his mentor's siblings, Tafunga and Lovemore Bonjisi. Join us as we explore Martin's journey and his unique approach to Shona sculpture.
