Where are the Rwandan female painters?
Twenty-four-year-old Flora Nyiramana Kimonyo is a student at Protestant Institute of Arts and Social Sciences, currently offering a Bachelors Degree in Conflict and Peace Building. She is also a passionate painter.
She is one of the two female painters at Ivuka Arts Center in Kacyiru which was founded in 2007 by artist Colin Sekajugo.
“I loved painting ever since I was a child. When I was in primary school, I would paint on small papers but when I went to high school, I was forbidden from painting at home to focus on studies, ” Nyiramana narrates.
