A young local artist uses his creations to address social ills.
Tanatswa Chiduwa (17) is a learner and prefect at Amazing Grace Private School in Ferndale.
He started his art journey at the tender age of seven, and now leads an art club at his school.
“I’ve seen myself getting better and better every day,” Tanatswa told Randburg Sun.
“I create various forms of artwork which include modern art. My work always has unique messages behind them – messages that address the ills that society tries so hard to deny. For example nature endangerment, woman empowerment and history.”
He said inspiration came to him when he spent time in nature.
“I take pride in my work and I hope that individuals who view my art can take the emotional value each masterpiece holds.”
One of his favourite pieces is called Her-Colours, which he said addressed women empowerment, diversity and beauty.
“I hope my art will be globally appreciated within the next few years as I will be creating more pieces with much more emotional value and creativity. I hope the voice in my art might just be loud enough to change the world.”
