Description
This captivating sculpture depicts a female bust with expressive features, capturing deep emotion. Made from Lapidolite, a transparent semi-precious stone, the work is distinguished by its elegance and sobriety. The figure displays a serene face, her lips slightly parted, offering a sense of inner peace. The detail of the hair and dress evokes fluid movement, enhanced by delicately engraved lines that accentuate the texture. With her arms crossed in front of her, the figure embodies reflection and introspection. This work skillfully blends tradition and modernity, paying homage to African culture while offering a contemporary vision. A must-have piece that illustrates the narrative power of sculptural art.
Presentation
Edson Muchena was born in Penhalonga, Mutare (Zimbabwe)
He is the fifth of eight children and is married to Miriam Dangarembwa. They have four children, two girls and two boys: Melody, Melisa, Elson, and Orlando.
Edson lives in Chitungwiza, a township outside the capital, Harare. He completed part of his primary education at St. Augustine Mission, from grades one to four, and then from grades five to seven at Mundenda Primary School, where he also completed his secondary education in 1989. At school, he was very good at drawing and molding. After completing his matriculation, he worked for a construction company in Mutare for two years, from 1991 to 1993.
Being artistically inclined, he decided to join his cousin's brother, Caleb Samhere, to carve and help him sand, polish, and finish the sculptures. Motivated by his skills and knowledge of stone carving, Edson ventured into the lucrative craft market. Over time, he was given opportunities to carve, and that's when he proved he was up to the task. He began by carving verdite stone, an extremely hard stone.
Later, with experience, he now carves Opal stone, Butterjade, Springstone, Verdite, Lapidolite, Leopard Stone, Serpentine Fruit, Cobalt, wood and all types of hard stones. Edson is ambitious and confident in his abilities.
He wants to become one of the best local artists in the world and would like to compete with others. He also wants to train young artists.
Edson sells its products locally and abroad, particularly in the United States and European countries.
He enjoys watching television, listening to the radio, watching football, volleyball, table tennis and reading.
He declares pleasures and a simple life: "I like to eat sadza with stew, oxtail, vegetables, chicken and rice, braai and traditional dishes. I like to drink fresh milk after work.
With God, all things are possible.
