 About Mathias Artwork: www.mathiaschirombo.com

As an artist born in a family of African spiritual culture, Mathias Chirombo's work is spiritually influenced by spirit medium-ship and customs. He seeks to explore this through dreams which are a rich source of inspiration for his art making, using spirituality and emotions to direct him in the search for meaning and guidance. The spirit world is identified as existing intangibly and only the effects it has on matter reflect its presence where it may be seen by some as of utmost importance.
