Marita Mukantwali
Artist Statement
Marita Mukantwali was born in Rwanda and moved to the USA at 11 years old. Marita graduated from Western Michigan University with a bachelor’s in fine art with an Emphasis in painting. Through my artwork, I strive to explore the intricate relationship between nature and human experience. Inspired by the beauty of the natural world and the human body and its profound impact on our emotions, I aim to capture and express the essence of these connections. My work is characterized by its multidisciplinary nature, incorporating elements of abstract, sculpture, and photography. Combine these diverse mediums, and strive to transcend the traditional boundaries of creativity, inviting the audience to question conventional notions of form, meaning, and artistic expression. Art, for me, is not simply a visual representation, but a means of communication and connection.
