TingaTinga 5 - Original Paintings from Tanzania

Daniel, Desderia, Liz, and Todd snacking at the Nairobi town Java House after an exciting time rummaging through hundreds of TingaTinga paintings!

On our most recent trip to Nairobi, Kenya, we had the good fortune to meet up with Daniel Augusta, the Manager of the TingaTinga Artists Cooperative Society (TACS), and his lovely girlfriend Desderia (see photo, left). Daniel and I had been communicating by email for years, but had never met. Liz and I were very excited to not only meet him and Desderia, but we knew that with him he would have a selection of the best TingaTinga paintings in the world!

Daniel and Desderia took a 24 hour bus ride from Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania, to Nairobi specifically and for no other reason than to meet with Liz and I, and bring us a huge selection of TingaTinga paintings straight from the TACS member artists themselves.

With two 50 lb. PVC pipes full of paintings slung over his shoulders, we all met at the famous Gallery Watatu on Standard Street and not only enjoyed each others company, but shared the trials and tribulations of the TACS and its dealings with unlikely companies like Disney and Lion Aspect of the UK - of the children's morning show TingaTinga Tales.

Daniel, the world's most renowned TingaTingaist, bled passion about his work and the life he and Desderia are leading in Tanzania - totally immersed in a TingaTinga lifestyle - even living in the home once occupied by Edward S. Tingatinga himself!

By the way, have you seen the paintings by Daudi S.Tingatinga? That's Edward's son - see below.

It was a fantastic afternoon - and very fruitful! Below are some of the paintings brought home to be added to our website:
