Hamban Mhone Malawi Malawian Artist - The artisan of art

Hamban Mhone

Hamban is 27 years old and is a single man. He is of the Chitonga tribe and lives with his brother and grandmother.

Hamban was born at Nkhata Bay. He comes from a family who live on the Malawi lakeshore and are fishermen and farmers growing maize and cassava.

Hamban is a self employed, freelance artist. He has been painting since he was 13 years old. He likes painting on any material, but paints a lot on canvas with acrylic paints. He likes painting images of his childhood days, of fishermen and of scenes of the lake where he grew up. He also likes to paint scenes of happy musical life of village people. He is also interested in getting to know other African tribes, cultures and paint their images.

He craves good quality materials and the finance to enable him to maintain his skills and passion for painting instead of having to try to find other household or industrial jobs to make a living.

Malawi is one of the world’s poorest countries, with a high infant mortality rate and a life expectancy of just 39 years. Some 90,000 children are HIV positive and therefore vulnerable to other diseases, while HIV also causes a high number of premature births.
