Description
I believe love also exists in animals, but especially giraffes, which is why I painted them. They are very beautiful to look at on their own, but in pairs, their love is beautiful to see.
In TingaTinga paintings, giraffes are often used to mean the love between couples. When they nestle up to one another and stay close, they are one of nature’s truest beauties and people come from all over the world to Tanzania to see.
[Ramadhani Mangula]
Ramadhani Mangula is one of the main organizers and artists for TingaTinga Arts Cooperative in Tanzania. Born in 1977, he joined the cooperative when he was 20 years old with the goal of mastering this uniquely East African style. After years of study, he realized he needed to better understand English and other art forms to better engage with diverse guests at the Cooperative and share his love of TingaTinga with the world, so he enrolled in classes at the Institute Worldwide University (IWW).
Today, Mangula is an active contributor, advocate, and organizer for all things related to TingaTinga- including this partnership with Orangehare. In addition to being one of the first TingaTinga artists to be featured on Web3, he has also exhibited physical work in the Sounds of Busara Art Exhibition on the Zanzibar Islands and is a regular fixture at the National Museum in Tanzania.
