Biography
Mika ObandaMika Obanda is a visual artist based in Nairobi, Kenya’s capital. He was
born and raised in the Mukuru slums near South B and has been an artist
since his childhood.
Professionally, he has been a full time artist for the last three years after he
met Adam Masava. Adam has mentored countless artists under the
umbrella of his Mukuru Arts Collective, and after seeing Mika’s first eggshell mosaic pieces, encouraged him to continue exploring the style and grow his craft.
In his artwork, he has worked on different mediums. Eggshells in mosaic, in
sculpture, maize fibre in mosaic, nylon paper in quilling among others, as
he pushes the boundaries of mixed media compositions and recycles
materials.
Theme wise, he tries to show appreciation through his work for the
community he lives in by capturing the various emotions and activities in
his immediate environment.
In 2021, he was recognised as one of the most promising
upcoming artists and got a special mention from the competition judges in
the annual Manjano art exhibition.View Catalogue arrow_drop_down_circleMore Artists more
