Joseph Thiongo
Profile
Country: Kenya
Style: Semi surreal, Landscape,
Medium: Watercolour and Ink, Acrylics
Fun Fact: his artistic skills were recognized by his Geography teacher, after being impressed by his map drawing skills. His teacher said, “Joseph, I hope you will be an artist”. And this is something he never forgot
Quote: “I observe my environment everywhere I am for ideas and inspiration for my artwork. I also get structural ideas of wildlife figures and their environment from actual wildlife parks. When I am in Nairobi and can’t get to the parks to paint, I have a collection of books and DVD’s that feature angles of what wildlife and landscapes Kenya has.”
