Description
You will rarely met a friendlier and kindhearted person than Mosoti Kepha. He is married, has two children and has been working for a long time at the Kuona Artist Center in Nairobi (Kenya). Mosoti is one of the most important sculptors in East Africa and has delivered a true masterpiece with his "Elisa". It is part of the Series "African Head Wrap".
Mosoti says: "This is a wooden sculpture carved from Eucalyptus hard wood. The sculpture depicts on the beautiful head wrap styles from Africa.
Elisa, the name of the young woman, looks a little sad. Has she been disappointed, betrayed or abandoned? We don't know. Even for a young and beautiful woman life does not always have to be easy, especially in a male-dominated society, as it is the case in many African countries. Women here are often still second-class citizens, abused, maltreated and sexually exploited.
Mosoti Kepha has once again created a very expressive sculpture, a very beautiful and typical example of contemporary African art.
You can hang the sculpture on the wall (we have attached a hook for this purpose) or you can put it upright, but you will then have to attach a stand.

Presentation
Mosoti Kepha is a visual artist who lives and works in Nairobi (Kenya). He was born in 1980 in Kisii (Kenya) and studied at the Buruburu Institute of Fine Arts in Nairobi from 2000 to 2003. In 2006 he joined the Kuona Trust, Center for Visual Art, and has been working there ever since. Mosoti Kepha is best known for his minimalist three-dimensional sculptures and relief sculptures, but he also continues to work in painting and drawing.
His work has been exhibited in a number of galleries and venues in Nairobi, including Godown Art Center, French Cultural Center, Goethe Institute, Kenya National Museum and other galleries and institutions.
He draws inspiration from the beauty of his surroundings and also from the daily events around him. In addition to his work in the studio, he teaches sculpture to art students.
