Macharia Salim Massawe
Printmaking artist in Nairobi
- 🇰🇪 Nairobi, Nairobi, Kenya
- Greenfield Studio
- Since 1982
- English, Swahili
I work mostly in printmaking, sometimes photography. My first show was in 1982 at Greenfield Studio, and nobody came except my family and one confused dog.
Most of my work is inspired by old photographs. I watch every football match going.
Hearing from old faces is the best part of my week.
More about Macharia
I've had 6 small exhibitions over the years. My favorite was the one with the worst lighting.
