Sculptor Information
Patrick was born in Harare, Zimbabwe. He is the youngest in a family of six children, three girls and three boys.
Patrick did his primary and secondary education in Tafara. Before attending school he started to work on small off-cuts at Tapfuma’s home in Tafara. While at secondary school, Patrick did sheet metalwork, drawing and design.
He became seriously involved in sculpting after being inspired by Agnes Nyanhongo and Joseph Munemo. He then joined the workshop for seven years.
He also worked with Gideon, Euwitt and Wellington Nyanhongo.
His ability to use the natural and spiritual elements of stone makes his work very appealing. He creates sculpture that is incredibly expressive, showing mood and emotion. He also uses mixed media of stone and metal.
Many of Patrick’s sculpture will be found in art collectors’ collections, both local and internationally.
His sculpture has found it’s way to countries like Germany, South Africa, Holland, USA, Spain and England.
