Albert Mubaiwa

I WAS BORN IN HWEDZA DISTRICT I DID MY PRIMARY THERE. AND LATER MOVED TO HARARE WHERE I DID MY HIGH SCHOOL AT MORGAN HIGHSCHOOL.

I STARTED CARVING IN 1993 AFTER REALISING MY INBORN UNEXPLOITED TALENT OF ART STONE CARVING IN PARTICULAR WITH A MARKED DEGREE OF MATURED FRAME OF MIND IN TERMS CREATIVE DESIGNING AND EXECUTION LF A PIECE OF ART WORK. SOME OF MY WORKS HAVE FIND THEIR WAY IN TO SOME OF FAMOUS GALLRIES FOR EXHIBITION THUS BENEFITING QUITE A LOT FROM CRITICISM AND REVIEWS OF MY ART WORKS. 

WHEN CARVING I SOMETIMES LOOK TO MY ANCESTRAL ROOTS FOR MY INSPIRATION AND AT TIMES I FIND THE SUBJECT IN THE SHAPE OF MY MEDIUM BUT USUALLY I IMPOSE MY OWN SHAPES REFUSING TO BE DECTATED TO FINDING A SIMPLICITY OF FORM OFTEN BREATHTAKING.

I FEEL SECURE WHEN SURROUNDED BY STONES ALTHOUGH MONTHS AND EVEN YEARS PASS BEFORE A PARTICULAR STONE IS USED BY THAT TIME A DIALOGUE ALREADY EXIST BETWEEN ME AND THE STONE.

TO UNDERSTAND AND APPRECIATE MY SCULPTURES ONE SHOULD PLACE IT IN A CULTURAL CONTEXT RATHER APPLY THE FORMAL ANALYSIS OF WESTEN ART.THESE SCULPTURES ARE EQUAL SUITED TO INDOOR DISPLAY OFTEN GAINING AN ADDED DIMENSION OUTSIDE.

I FEEL IF GIVEN MY EXPOSURE AND EXPERIENCE IN I FEEL MY WORKS ARE OF ACCEPTABLE STANDARD TODAY.TOMORROW AND FOREVER.I SHALL CONTINUE TO ENTERTAIN.EDUCATE.INFOM THE WORLD AT LARGE THROUGH STONE CARVING AS LONG AS I LIVE.
