About Ezequiel

Ezequiel is an Artist with SouthAfricanArtists.com based in South Africa.

Ezequiel is a self taught artist who got his inspiration as a child from older boys who did woodcarving and fabric design in the neighbourhood. He learnt the basics of art at school but was forced to abandon these studies in order to find work to support his family. Later in life he got the opportunity to study fine art at the Nucleo de Arte in Maputo where he developed his skills in woodcut printing. The high degree of quality and professionalism in his work is testament to his talent and dedication to art.
Ezequiel says, "my work reflects my childhood memories. These stories emanate from the stories that my grandparents used to tell me as a child. To me this is the life that I cherish most when doing my work. It is important from my point of view to keep these memories alive . . . I also enjoy drawing elongated figures because that is how I had pictured them in my mind as a child."

Ezequiel is now based in South Africa and his work has been exhibited in a number of galleries worldwide, including annual exhibits in New York and Chicago
