Portia Zvavahera
In her paintings, artist Portia Zvavahera (b. 1985) gives form to emotions that manifest from other realms beyond the domains of everyday life and thought. Her vivid imagery is rooted in the cornerstones of our earthly existence—life and death, pain and pleasure, isolation and connection, and love and loss. Zvavahera draws on particular traditions of figuration in past and present Zimbabwe, while also pointing to postwar artistic practices that probe the nature of the human condition.
