Today, I want to introduce a topic that is so close to my heart. I don't know why but I just find myself inspired when someone talks about art. If I see you making art, be sure I must speak to you! Note the word 'must' because its like am pulled towards art. It has such energy that you cannot keep away.
When in school, I always admired people who could draw. (You must understand that I cannot draw anything. I usually freak out when my nieces ask me to draw a boy or a girl and the worst is a car.) Maybe its my lack of any artistic talent that makes me feel so pulled toward this topic. However, I am a firm believer in the notion that everyone on this earth is an artist. Being able to organize my thoughts in such writing is art. For scientists, organizing ideas and coming up with an invention is art. For geeks or nerds, whichever you prefer, (I love geeks), assembling a computer or coming up with software is art. I love it all and its art.
Now to the most important part, I want to introduce you to one of the greatest artists in Thika. His name is Denis Muthomi, most call him Denno. I firts saw Denno's work while I was passing by his shop. I immediately went and said hi and just admired his work. His art company is called Q5 CREATIVES and he is located near YMCA in Thika.
According to Denno, Q stands for "kiu" in Swahili, which he notes that Thika has 'kiu' (thirst) for art. On the other hand 5 stands for the handshake. Dennis went to art school at Buruburu Institute of Fine Arts (BIFA). His works range from Paintings, Drawings, Sculptures, Dry material decorations among others. He also does interior design and architectural designs.
I love each and every one of these pieces. His talent is amazing and he does a pretty good job. He can also customize pieces according to the customer's taste. And am mostly proud because he is from Thika, our town, our city. If you love any of these pieces or more importantly would love to get a customized art work, just call Dennis at 0724 026 487. You can also reach him via this blog and we will relay your message.
Its full of talent and beauty.You gotta love Thika.
