Muzamba Champion

Muzamba was born in the Binga district of Zimbabwe.

His first introduction of art came during his primary education at Kariangwe mission school.

He was very interested in art carved different sculptures of wood and clay.

In 1990 he stared working for the Matombo Gallery in Harare as a general worker packing and crating boxes. Here he was  inspired by the artists that exhibited at the gallery and he started carving in earnest from 1992.

He learnt techniques of carving stone, and became familiar with carving tools.

In recent years Muzamba has shown increasing evidence that he has that creative vision of an artist and his more recent sculptures indicate the talent of a young artist who is increasingly confident of his own creative ability and his technical mastery of his chosen medium.

Muzamba's art is pure Shona Sculpture and he mostly sculpts human and animal forms referring to Shona society and culture. Traditional beliefs are also a common source of inspiration.
