Date of Birth:

Edmore Sango

I was born in 1977 in Guruve and received my

primary education at Nyanhunzi School, my secondary education at Mamini High

School.

I started sculpting at a very tender age; my inspiration was due to the fact

that I came from a renowned carving family. During my school holidays I used to

help my sister Queen and brother Brighton Sango to finish or polish

their sculpture. This helped me to obtain and gain very good experience while I

was still very young.

In 1995 after completing my secondary education I decided to become a fulltime

sculptor. In 1998 Tom Blomefield invited me to join Tengenenge Sculpture Community. I worked with them

for two years. In 2001, I received an invitation to Netherlands fromtwo

galleries called World Art Foundation and Kunst In Depolder to do a workshop

and exhibition. It was a successful exhibition and workshop. In 2002 I was

invited to Germany to Enlaoe Gallery and we had a successful exhibition and

workshop. Last year ( 2013) i was in

Germany at INTO AFRICA GALLRY for workshops and exhibitions.

I am now one of the successful third generation sculptors. I have received

three Merit awards from World Art Foundation, Kunst in Depolder and Enlaoe. I

am still striving to further improving my sculpting techniques and sculptures.

I am married and I have three children, two girls and one boy.
