A few words about your artistic career
In my paintings, I fuse the figurative with abstract backgrounds in a burst of colour. Because colours play an important role in the way we see and perceive things - I explore and delve deeper into primary colours and seek to broaden the thinking around the representation of children.
How long have you been an artist?
I have 7 years experience as an artist, I started practicing art in 2012.
Why did you apply for this scholarship? How will the scholarship support you?
- In order to support me financially and so that I can use my time during confinement to concentrate entirely on my practice;
- To buy more art materials to further my practice;
- In order to cover Internet costs and be able to share the results of the residency online.
What are your concrete artistic objectives after this residency?
- Produce more than 10 works of art related to the subject of this project;
- To set up my first solo exhibition by 2021;
- Attend an art residency outside Uganda;
- Continue to work with children through my organisation.
