Inspired by the San to create natural pigments

 I was inspired by the San and how they would use different pigments to paint their lifestyle on walls. Their support was the rock and now in the contemporary world our support is the canvas and sometimes paper but from there, they didn’t have lots of pigments, hence their palette was very limited. It’s either they used black which they got from charcoal or reds from soils or blood.

Zimbabwean Creating Pigments For Painting

I have been painting for over twelve years. Somehow I have become tired of using these conventional paints, oils and acrylics. So, I’m experimenting with minerals to produce pigments.

This project has been going on for last 6 months whereby. I am going around picking soils, crushing rocks that have different colours and trying to see how far they can expand my palette. I am also working with plants, fruits and leaves, especially, the mulberries to just produce inks for drawings.
