Mafatlha paints the Bible

The young man told Arts & Culture that while growing up his favourite subjects were history and art. “When learning history, I realised that there were a lot of questions that were not answered.  No matter how many questions I asked to understand life, I did not get satisfactory answers,” he said. The young man said he tried every possible way to understand how life exists and how it was going to end.

He said that he later turned to the Bible where he found answers. He said that it took him years to understand the bible and finish it. Realising that it answered most of his unanswered questions, Mafatlha dedicated his time to the bible. He said he was also passionate about art. “I decided to come up with a different form of art and came up with Chronology of the Bible painting.  Reading the bible, I turned to understand life. It gave me a picture on how God created earth, people and animals and how he wanted them to live,” he said.
