Minzi

Thobias Marco Minzi is a painter and filmmaker born in Mwanza, Tanzania.

While attending informal training and workshops, he developed an artistic style that utilises fabric, wood and thread to convey images and feelings. The tactile nature of fabric allows him to create semi-abstract pieces.

His paintings depict women and children; the role they play in African daily life and the challenges they face within developing countries.

He showcased his work in two solo exhibitions in Tanzania and Kenya and several group exhibitions around East Africa, as well as in the USA, Spain, Denmark, Finland and Norway. He also participated in various workshops and residencies in Tanzania and Denmark.

His paintings are held in collections in Muhimbili National Hospital, Aga Khan Hospital Dar Es Salaam Tanzania, The Prime Minister's Office and The State House in Dar Es Salaam Tanzania.
