Peter Ray

 
eter was born in 1981 in the Kilimanjaro Region. When he was a little boy he started painting and sketching what he saw around him – trees, mountains, animals. But it was only after finishing technical college that Peter really began taking his art seriously. His work is abstract, but based on traditional Maasai culture, music and stories, and through his art he has discovered his own Maasai identity. Mr Ray’s work has been in the Biannual exhibition Dar es Saalam a number times, along with regional shows along the coast. He has been an annual artist-in-residence at Gibb’s Farm were a number of his commissioned works have been installed in the cottaged.

“Art is about communication. 

My art speaks to me every day,

but it also speaks to the world about Africa.”
