Emmanuel MUTUYIMANA is one of the protagonists of abstract drip painting of an upcoming generation of Rwandan expressionist artists.
Born in 1998 in Kigali, Rwanda, MUTUYIMANA communicates, engages and interacts through figurative artworks.
He gathers his inspiration from his environment, most importantly from the people, nature and places that surround him.
He passionately started sketching and drawing at a young age in school. He used to help teachers to draw biological parts of various living creatures on the black board to assist in
visualizations given the lack of support material. Through his
science classes, he also developed a particular fascination for looking at things through a microscope, which would shape his art themes and styles for years to come.
MUTUYIMANA discovered his passion for visual art as a teenager and always loved singing and performing arts. His works
are mostly figurative and abstract pieces created in his own
distinct style, blending brush stroking and drip painting. He
takes his inspiration from the stained-glass art found in churches, especially when it comes to their powerful use of
thematic compositions and color combinations.
An auto-didact, MUTUYIMANA joined IVUKA Art Studio in 2018, where he continuously developed his drawing and painting
skills, experimenting with acrylic, oil, plastics and collage as well as constantly learning from his fellow artists. He has
participated in different art classes, workshops and exhibitions in
Kigali and has also been featured in local and international magazines sharing his unique art journey.
