The author

John Kilaka was born in the southwest of Tanzania in 1966. As a boy he was already very interested in painting: as a child he was doing sketches in the sand; when he started school he made funny drawings on the black board, which the other pupils enjoyed but which disturbed the teacher. At the age of twenty he moved to Dar es Salaam to study the art of tingatinga painting. Today, John Kilaka is one of the most important representatives of tingatinga art.
