Dereje Shiferaw
ETHIOPIA, ADDIS ABABA
Is an intuitive and gifted self-taught painter, born in Asmera, Eritrea in 1978. His deliberate bold brush strokes and incomparable oil pastel technique, create deep multi-dimensional compositions, set in contrasting environs from tranquility to turmoil. Where many artists are refining and defining, Dereje is questioning and emphasizing. His art is fresh and unbridled by any academic pedagogy or formula; hence he freely goes where most formally taught artist dare to venture, making him exceptional. The self-taught husband and father of 3 is a full-time studio artist who art has been in several international shows and collections.
“I recognize the higher power always present, amongst and with us…influenced by nature, human beings, social elements along with questionable politics, culture, economic circumstance in Ethiopia, Africa and worldwide…I gather motivation at every turn. Against the soundscape of jazz music softly playing in my studio to the hidden monastery cave across from my home/studio, I create codified colorful chronicles with the world with my love for art and nature. My aim is to capture the spirit, essence and heritage of my subject and use this as an opportunity for the world to peer into the lives and struggles of people whose stories are yet to be told”.
