He was born on the 9th of March 1985 in Masvingo, Gutu District in the Serima Area, of which he is the second born in his family. He did his primary education at Matizha primary school in 1998 then went on to secondary education at Chikwerengwe Secondary School in Masvingo.

While still a boy, he was inspired to pursue his artistic passion because at the rural area he grew up in used to carve wooden articles such as cooking sticks, so he then travelled to Harare end of 2001 and he met one of the more established artists L. Gonde who taught him how to wash and finish stones. End of 2002 he was able to do his own sculptures through his advice and inspiration. He started working on hard stones like spring stones, fruit stone among other types of hard rocks. I am a member of Chitungwiza Arts Centre in Zimbabwe.

The Zimbabwean sculptures, tucked along the garden’s paths, are beautiful in their simplicity, carved from a single stone that reveals its form as artists without a plan make their first cuts. Sculptors such as Passmore Mupindiko and Patrick Sephani, who will demonstrate their talents through the Dow Gardens run, tap into a fusion of their country’s cultural legacy and contemporary environment.

When Passmore Mupindiko’s grandfather taught him how to sculpt, an art that once captured the images of Zimbabwe’s tribal chiefs so that new generations would know what great men they were, the 7-year-old couldn’t imagine where his art would lead him.
