Realist artist Isaac Karimwabo from Uganda is finding that the calmness and quiet that comes with lockdowns has fuelled his patience and creativity.
Karimwabo is now painting realistic portraits in navy blue on white backgrounds. He chose this style because his other materials run out. The results are no less inspiring especially the intimate mother and child scenes such as The Bridge of Life. Here a seated woman in a strapless African-print dress holds up and kisses her baby, their features captured in amazing detail.
