“These works are based on my life in Kenya. In the past artists used to say: ’My art is my life.’ and nowadays they say: ‘My life is my art.’ These paintings are about the latter and this is the first time I take this approach – reflecting on my life. I found it is a really big theme that takes my work from ‘private’ to the ‘public’ and political. I would like to develop it more in the future.” Nadia Kisseleva
