CHRISTINE NYATHO
Born 1993. Kampala, Uganda

Christine Nyatho is a self-taught mixed-media artist dedicated to reviving indigenous art-making practices through the innovative use of locally sourced organic materials. She uses bark cloth, discarded paper, fabric, raffia, and acrylic on linen to create evocative, multidimensional artworks. Nyatho’s work draws inspiration from celestial bodies, particularly the moon and its subtle yet significant influence on human behavior. This fascination with the cosmos is mirrored in her artistic exploration of themes related to natural cycles. By weaving together these elements, her artwork becomes a meditation on the interconnections between the heavens, the earth, and the human experience. Through her mixed media practice, Nyatho seeks to connect contemporary audiences with the rich heritage of indigenous art forms while reflecting on universal themes of growth, change, and harmony. Her work serves as both a tribute to traditional craftsmanship and a contemporary exploration of the forces that shape our lives.
