ABOUT STYLE, TECHNIQUE AND SUBJECT MATTER
of the artist Ronex AHIMBISIBWE

My works brigde my experience, fantasies and my reality
It’s hard to ignore one’s culture, as its part of me and gives identity at the same time.
In most cases i put much emphasise on technique and am experimental in
my art works -- in a quest to discover my own capabilities.
My desire has always been--- to create works that curiously blend sophistication and naivety-mainly inspired by carve painting and the female form
