Kenyan muralist Bhupi “WiseTwo” Jethwa is an alchemist of old and new artforms painted on big walls. Since 2012 he has painted street art in Kenya and around the world, bringing his take on traditional motifs and observations of contemporary society.

“My art is a balance between the ancient and modern world, where I create powerful fusions rich in depth, colour and iconography,” says Bhupi who signs off his work as WiseTwo.
