THROUGH FINDING MYSELF AND MY DESIRE FOR ART, I DECIDED TO JOIN THE ART WORLD STARTING FROM SCRATCH.

I GRADUATED IN PAINTING AND BASIC VISUAL ARTS FROM RUSSIAN CULTURAL CENTER,  AND THEN TEFERI MEKONEN (TMS) IN PAINTING. THIS JOURNEY CONTRIBUTED FOR MY SUCCESSFUL YEARS IN ADDIS ABABA UNIVERSITY ALE SCHOOL OF FINE ART AND DESIGN (ASFAD) WHERE I GOT MY BACHELORS DEGREE IN PRINTMAKING.

MY DAYS AS A VISUAL ARTIST NOT ONLY TAUGHT ME ABOUT ART BUT ALSO SHOWED ME THE WORLD FROM
DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE THAT CONTINUED TO INSPIRE ME WITH NEW IDEAS TO DEVELOP IN ART AND REFLECT THAT TO THE COMMUNITY
THAT WATCHED ME GROW.

AS AN ARTIST, I HAVE WORKED WITH MANY MEDIUMS, BUT WITH A FOCUS ON PRINTMAKING AND PAINTING MAINLY. I CONTINUE TO REFINE MY TECHNIQUES AND FIND NEW WAYS TO CAPTURE THE COMPLICATION
AROUND US. I ENJOY BRINGING TRUTH TO THE CANVAS, AND FINDING NEW WAYS TO MAKE PEOPLE SEE THINGS IN DIFFERENT WAYS AND SHOW NEW PERSPECTIVE IN EVERY DAY IMAGES AND COMPOSITIONS.

MY ART IS MOSTLY INFLUENCED AND INSPIRED BY PASSION AND
CONFLICT. MY ARTWORKS EVOKE EMOTIONS THAT MOSTLY HAVE BEEN DRAWN FROM MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCES. PRINTMAKING AND PAINTING ISN’T JUST AN OCCUPATION TO ME, IT’S MY PASSION.
