SHITANDA

Muyaka Shitanda is a multidisciplinary visual artist,born, raised and currently based in

Nairobi, Kenya. Working in a blend of different media spanning across photography, painting, sculpture,textile and film. Shitanda creates pieces that employ the use of experimental textures,colors,objects, light and shadow play to create settings that play host to a fusion of mundane and surreal subjects.

His works seek to explore the presence and absence of the mind from reality by engaging with a distant memory,time and place that creates a soft allusive nostalgia for the unknown .

He showcases beauty and life’s dualities from an unconstrained perspective that delves into  challenging a preconceived obstinate rhythm of life and stretches to cross the unseen line that

separates our fantasies from reality.
