About the Artist
Fikile Mqhayi is a confident painter who has developed an idiosyncratic style that many artists take years to achieve. Using oil and acrylic paints, he renders the everyday with sensitivity, and the human condition with warmth and sympathy. Mqhayi’s artwork is based on interrogating the human environmental, economic, social and political issues challenging society. He’s often inspired by religion and the two beliefs on which his church is founded, Western Christianity and the African culture of ancestors - African Christianity.
Mqhayi graduated in Fine Art from the Michaelis School of Fine Art (2011). He is a former member of the Gugulethu Youth Brass Band and has experience in the film industry. He currently lives and works in Delft, Cape Town.
