Sebawali Sio is a Kenyan Born visual artist who currently has an exhibition in Nairobi from August 1 at Lifestyle in Gigiri. Her work is also showing @m.a.d.s.artgallery in Milan.
Sebawali’s art regularly stems from her feelings communicated through painting and sculpting and her work primarily deals with the exploration of sexual, physical and emotion abuse of women.

‘Eyes’ and ‘women’ feature a lot in her work. She deems eyes important both as a means of communicating emotion and as organs of great significance where Visual Art is concerned.

Her paintings are thus cycles in terms of both the observer and the observed. Women in her work are a form of Self-portraits in a manner to suggests a shared identity as if all women could be her.

She is a member of the Brushtu collective artists space in Buruburu, as well as Karen Village.

Her works, have been collected by individuals, both locally and internationally and corporates such as Pricewaterhouse Coopers.
