About the Artist
Khaya Sineyile is a South African visual artist from Nyanga, Cape Town, whose practice has evolved through a continuous engagement with memory, identity, culture, community, and lived experience. Mostly self-taught, Sineyile developed a passion for drawing and painting from an early age and later trained at the Arts and Media Access Centre (AMAC) between 2004 and 2005.
His artistic journey began with observations of township life and the everyday experiences that shaped his childhood. Deeply connected to his Xhosa heritage, Sineyile’s practice is informed by cultural traditions, rituals, ceremonies, and the continuing dialogue between tradition and contemporary life. The philosophy of Ubuntu “I am because we are” and the principle of Ubuntu Batho are central to his understanding of humanity and community.
