Pheoleen Gandari

Born on the 24th of February 1979, Pheoleen is the second born in a family of four. He completed his ordinary level in 1996 with five O'level passes at Zengeza High School near Harare in Zimbabwe.

He was among the best Art Students at his school and only started concentrating in Shona stone sculptures in 1996 after completing school.

He sold his very first piece to a German tourist and since then his work has found its way to many countries including the US, Denmark, Netherlands and many more.

His ambition is to go anywhere overseas for a workshop or exhibition.

"My Art is based with feeling and things which happen from day to day."

The works of Sylvester Mubayi, Timothy Mupotaringa and Dominic Benhura inspire him.
