John Ndambo

Ndambo hails from the Mwawache village in the Chawai area of Taita Taveta in Kenya. He is 38 years old. John derives his inspiration from the tribes people he saw while growing up and watching them go about their daily routine. The colors and vibrancy that these people showed, without their realization as to their beauty, made him pay attention to details of life in his area.

Ndambo studied at Mwawache Primary School and then Mwafuga High School. His skills with the palette knife came to him naturally and he was able to impress both his school mates and teachers when he painted their portraits.

Ndambo has exhibited his work in London and the Edinburgh Art Festival in Scotland in 1995 and 1997. These events were organized by the Royal Overseas League who offered a special invitation to a few select African artists concentrating on paintings.

John Ndambo is a new artist just added to our website! Below are some of his paintings that are a good representation of his current style. Enjoy!

Update: 26 February 2008 - On request, I have updated this page with nine new Ndambos below. I think in time Ndambos style and colors have matured - and his paintings are better than ever!
