Tinga Tinga are the colourful paintings using the enamel paints on canvas. The style is new – It started in 1968 by a man called Edward Saidi Tingatinga. Now many hundreds of painters in Tanzania use this style.

Makonde is a very famous carving style. Makonde is related to the Makonde tribe living in South Tanzania. It is a modern art style but it has roots in the traditional mask carving. Usually the sculptors use the hard and dark ebony tree. Some Makonde sculptures are as high as 4 meters.

Abstract art in Tanzania is accosiated with a vibrant modern fine art scene. Each artist has its own style but they all have distinguished African flavour. So there is not much western influence in Tanzania. I have constructed the webpages for the most prominent Tanzanian artists.
