#“Let Me Provoke You With My Knives”#
Gigi Miahs, born and based in Nairobi, Kenya, is a painter who predominantly uses oils, incorporating beeswax, as well as charcoal and pastels, with formal training from the Buruburu Institute of Fine Arts. His technique fuses traditional-classical and modern styles, masterfully blending light, color, and intricate impasto knife-work to create both depth and tactile allure. Each painting is an immersive, impressionistic scene that draws the viewer in, conveying moments of reflection, exploration, and profound wonder at the beauty and meaning of existence.
