Artist John Bosco Muramuzi’s elaborate paintings portray city life and countryside living in intense colours. His canvases are busy, filled with multiple scenes from his rural origins, Kampala where he lives and has had personal experiences.
Muramuzi hails from the Ankole region of southwestern Uganda, a place famous for long-horned cows of the same name. “I used to rear cattle and goats in the village between the ages of six and 13,” he said.
