Iddephons Sikwemba

Iddephons Sikwemba was born in Mtwara (Southern Tanzania)  in 1970 and in 1987 he finished the school. One year later he started to carve. But he didn´t stay in Mtwara long time. He was picked up a year later by his friend Joakim Mpyuka to join him in Dar es Salaam. At that time the business of carvings was on its peak as many art dealers send them to Europe. He uses different trees, not only ebony tree. He has three children, one girl and two boys. Unfortunately Iddephons had not yet any exhibition though he things that some people from Germany might organize one without noticing him. His teacher´s name is Paulo Thomaso.
