Muskwe lives off paints and brushes.

BORN on August 2 1974, Batsirai Muskwe is a self-taught artist whose passion for art (painting) developed after he studied art as a subject at Lord Malvern High School in the capital.

Just after his secondary school, Muskwe then decided to follow his passion using the National Art Gallery facilities including the library to conduct research on painting.

During the same period, he met Chenjerai Chiripanyanga, who was into sculpting, and joined him to acquire the much-needed experience in the world of art.
