Jinja Art, Kale
Young People Helping Themselves and Our Community
 
I am Angelo and I live in Jinja, Uganda. Until recently I lived and worked with my cousin Jaffer to spread the word that art can build a future. Jaffer is working in northern Uganda now and I love him as my brother and cousin and wish him all the very best. I hope and trust our friend Alan from California will do for him what he did for for me, setting up this website.
 
I am a local Jinja artist who raises money through my art, living day to day, to put myself through school and to help our local community.
 
My hope is to use the art forms I work with to help the youth of Uganda express themselves to those inside Uganda and even outside our small country. I believe Uganda is a great country that can have an impact on the world.
 
We wish to do that through our art.
 
I have been taught in school that art is not just imagination, it is a place and a sense of well-being but most importantly it's about expression. It's about explaining that through art we can explain life. I truly hope we can do that for Uganda.
 
I wish this was about money but that is simply not me, Angelo. I am not a Monet, a Rembrandt, a Picasso or so many of the great artists of this world.
 
I am simply Angelo, a humble artist from Jinja, Uganda, who wants to make a difference in the world.
 
I hope you will recognise my love for Uganda and Africa from my simple paintings into which I have put my heart and soul, to explain to you all, the way we see our lives.
 
God Bless and Thanks,
 
Angelo
