Wycliffe Ndwiga
The following is a biography prepared by Ndwiga:
"The artist who is twenty five years of age hails from the
Kikuyu tribe of Kenya. The Kikuyu tribe is the largest tribe in Kenya and the
people are very industrious.
Ndwiga from an early age had an intense interest in art.
His brother, Daniel Njoroge, is the most known artist in Kenya at the moment.
Daniel Njoroge learnt art from the famous artist David Shepherd. He is also the
brother of David Michuki,
another incredible talent!
Ndwiga recalls that when he was very young he would often
spend hours each day drawing figures of humans and animals in the dusty soil of
his home. One could truly say that his style and appreciation of art,
particularly the 'wildlife art', was cultured in the soil of Africa."

Update - 14 October
2007: I have just added these three new paintings. The first is an
incredible zebra landscape, showing zebras leaving their scent on a rock. The
landscape reveals a stark look at possibly the Maasai Mara during dry season,
the grass low and brown. This painting has exceptional detail. All three of
these new paintings show how Ndwiga's style and attention to the small things
are improving. With a very competitive family - Daniel Njoroge and David Muchuki
are both brothers to Ndwiga - it seems his paintings will continue to improve.

Update - May 2007:
The person who generously contributed the photo above right, as recently
returned from his own trip to Kenya and Tanzania, where a lifetime of dreams
finally turned into reality. Mind you, the photo above reflected his passion for
Africa - and he had never been there! Now, in his and his wife's return, they
have reconfigured and enhanced their 'Africa Room'. They have kindly sent in
these photos:
 |
 |
The paintings
seen in the 'Africa Room' are by the artist Wycliffe Ndwiga -
I think all were purchased from this website. Notice that the walls are so
filled, that they are utilizing the ceiling! |
Of note in this
photo: The painting on the lower right was a customized photo on special
request of the customer. He asked for a specific subject, performing a
certain deed (in this case a leopard in a tree with a kill), and the exact
size. After a few months, the painting was produced. |
25 September 2006 - Mixed in
with some of the older paintings, here comes more paintings by the incredibly talented Ndwiga! He has expanded his
repertoire by integrating more human elements into his paintings which I think
work well! Ndwiga's wildlife paintings are certainly the most well-priced
original artworks you will find on the net!

This Ndwiga went to New Jersey. |
"Ndwiga did his primary education in his hometown, but his
school did not place a great emphasis on art. Therefore, as he was determined to
pursue his love of art, he asked his elder brother to start coaching him on the
subject. Because art was in his blood it did not take him long to become a
professional artist at an early age.
His desire is for the world to take notice of his talents
as well as his compatriots who are African - incredibly gifted and well-seasoned
African wildlife artists.
Ndwiga paints from home and looks after his father as
well."
Our special artist, featured here on Inside African Art,
has a relative who is also on the site, Daniel Njoroge.

These beautiful paintings below have all been
sold
and are being
enjoyed in their new homes.
