The Forgotten Brush
In the quiet streets of Mekelle, sometime in 1950s, there walked a man; unknown, uncelebrated, unrecorded, but unforgettable to those who paused long enough to see.
He carried no fame.
He asked for no price.
He painted for no market.
Learn more about our 'Faces of Tigray' project, art of healing, and community support project.
All paintings will be shown at our final exhibition. Contact us to pre-order a painting and support this initiative.
