Mumbi Muturi

Mumbi Muturi is a multi-disciplinary visual artist based in Nairobi, Kenya. 

The trajectory behind becoming an established photographer, director and painter was all but orthodox yet led by Mumbi’s drive to master her craft and externalise her passion for telling stories through the lens or paint. 

By capturing and manipulating light to her liking, Mumbi is able to extract the essence of her subjects and highlight their soul through a refined use of contrast. 

Her work interrogates the interaction between people and their surroundings, the juxtaposition of humanity and nature. 

Resilience and strength perspire through her images, whether still or moving. The stark use of colour is a metaphor of deep emotion, the state of the human condition.
