Mangobe the writter

My artworks reflect the very day life around me, I like doing abstract works because they give me the freedom of expression. I mix figurative painting technique with abstract surfaces. As we live in a modern contemporary age, I try by all means to show modernism in my works. I also use symbolism in my work to pass a message of unity to the public and add the knowledge I have learned during my studies. The medium that I use most in my body of works is oil and acrylic painting but I do all medium sometimes because I am a modern artist. I also like using fabrics in my pieces, they have a deeper meaning to me because I believe as people we have different cultures and we express them through the fabrics we wear. The concept I am working on at the moment is themed ‘Life Patterns’. In this theme I am focusing on leaders of our societies and people who have motivated the county through their hard work. I like taking images with my camera of random people in the streets as my references.
