ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Born in Uganda, East Africa, Deo Lutwama came to appreciate the beauty of nature and art as being part of himself at an early age. He paints in different mediums, oils, acrylics, and pastels, to depict the daily life, folklore, and wildlife of Africa.
With the ever-fading traditions of African cultures, Deo strives to represent Africa through his love of painting as storytelling. As his grandmother used to say, “Healing comes through storytelling, and art with the use of color is storytelling in itself.” Most of his oil paintings are celebrated with saturated deep primary colors typical of African art. He cites his greatest influence as Monet’s impressionist paintings.
