Artist
Carrel Kumbirai
I am a full-time professional wildlife artist based in Zimbabwe. I was born on June 10th, 2000, in Bhuhera, Zimbabwe. In 2001, my family moved to Gweru. My passion for art blossomed at the age of six when I enrolled at Cecil John Rhodes Primary School. This was a key turning point in my life, as it was then that I discovered my natural talent for art.
During my high school years, I felt inspired to elevate my skills and abilities in professional art. I was mentored by well-known and seasoned artists in Zimbabwe. Although I did not receive formal art training at an art school, I was fortunate to have friends and mentors who were already established in the field. Their guidance helped me pursue my passion, and in 2019, I established my own art studio.
My attention to detail, especially in capturing my most cherished subject, the Painted Dog, has been recognized for its quality and depth. Despite my age, my work has often been compared to that of seasoned maestros.
