Artist passionate about photo pointillism

Kutlo Mabua was born and raised in Mahalapye and is a visual artist who specialises in pointillism. Pointillism or stapling is a process of making dots using different pressures that result in tones to create a picture using fibre pens and micro fine liners.

For this pointillist, his motivation is derived from individuals who are a reflection of him or his reflection of those individuals. “My subjects are mostly African children. They are like an anchor of hope and I want to give a feeling of someone asking themselves about the pieces and me as an artist,” he said.
