His love for painting shows in his work often done on canvas and cloth with oils, dyes and
wax (Batik) using techniques he developed as a young artist in Uganda and Kenya
He paints images of Africa bringing the canvas to life with dances, ceremonies, landscapes and regalia of the Massai,
Turkana, Baganda, Nandi, Swahili and many more tribes of the African diaspora that have touched his heart. In his work
we gain an amazing insight into day to day activities and lives of a people who are rich in color, culture and tradition.
With over 20 exhibitions and 100 major work displays in Africa, Europe and the United States Mubiru has already
established himself as a major artist.
