Moses Masaya Moses Masaya, a first generation artist, was born in 1947 in Nyanga, Eastern Highlands of Zimbabwe. After a brief schooling he worked under Joram Mariga. In 1967 he established the Village Art and Craft Centre in Nyanga, which became a showplace for his and other artistīs sculpture.
Throughout this period Frank McEwen, who bought Mosesīs sculpture for the Permanent Collection Of The National Gallery, encouraged him. His forms are simple, powerful and expressive. He uses the beautiful green and gold serpentines of his homelands in Nyanga to great effects as well as black serpentine. Moses took great pride in his work and meticulously finishes every piece, however small. His art is rich in imagery, symbolism and traditional socio-religious morals. He sculpts elongated evocative heads with stylised angular features to portray feelings and experiences common to mankind: 'Mother & Child', husband, wife and sibling love, or family bonding, are the themes he depicted. Moses has participated in almost all the group exhibitions including Musse Rodin Paris and had a one-man exhibition in Harare. Artist's Sculpture (Click to view):
