Born in 1994 in Kwekwe, Zimbabwe, Tinashe Madzivanyika began his artistic journey in 2016 by teaching himself photography. By 2022, he had expanded his creative horizons to include painting and mixed media, driven by a desire to further express his artistic vision.

Through his mixed media artworks, which sometimes include extracts from his own writing, Tinashe incorporates layers of acrylics, collage, and glazes applied with an array of tools, including brushes, sponges, and rough-textured towels. 

Tinashe’s style draws inspiration from the unpredictable nature of life, coupled with a desire to visually articulate his own personal struggles. Themes include the appreciation of life’s minute details, as well as a celebration of the mundane. Embracing his background as a self-taught artist, Tinashe enjoys in the freedom to experiment – transforming mistakes into innovative ideas; and he celebrates his ability to continually push boundaries, unfettered by conventional norms or stylistic constraints.
