Patrick Seruwu

Patrick Seruwu has been a fulltime artist for only two years and yet three of his artworks have been chosen for the auction, an honour he still finds incredible.

Seruwu is a contemporary, realistic painter and his work focuses on violence against women, exploring ways in which victims deal with the trauma of being subjected to abuse.

“My art exposes the emotions of people out there who can’t express themselves. By doing that I try to bring out emotions [in] the images, so that everyone can see what’s happening to the world at large.”

He also pays homage to African culture, often drawing inspiration from his childhood, painting flashbacks of growing up as an only boy in a household full of girls and a single mother.
