Anthony Irungu, Visual Creative Arts 

Anthony Irungu is a visual artist from Nairobi who has practiced his craft since he was a young boy. Mostly self-taught, Anthony is passionate with his work, incorporating various materials to create paper collages, mosaics, mixed media and more. In his words, “The art that I do is to realize the positive effect of cleaning our environment. Instead of dumping, we can utilize the waste material to add life and let it become something valuable.”  

 Anthony also teaches art and design, mentoring young artists, especially children from disadvantaged backgrounds. He uses art to help others cope with stress and daily hardships affecting his community. His influences include Leonardo Da Vinci, Van Gogh, Picasso and Hieronymus Bosch.
