Enquire

I am Lenard Sezhento, I was born in 1977 on 3rd March in Goromonzi District. I had attended my primary education at Hatidani Primary School and then proceeded for my secondary education at St Vincent Secondary School.

After school, I started working for the late Nicholas Mukomberanwa during the construction of his mansion in 1996 at his farm. He appreciated the work that I was doing and promoted me to another level after the first six months. I was given another duty of tending his garden and he was pleased with my performance and he consequently transferred me to a different department of stone sculpting under the supervision of his son Anderson Mukomberanwa.

Anderson was my first mentor to instruct me how to work with stone. I started working alone in 2004 and in the same year I started sending my sculptures to The National Gallery for exhibitions. Ruwa Gallery, Gallery Africa and Chapungu gGallery all accommodated my artworks. I specialize in Shona art.

Promotion counts as much as the art, and if the promotion is right the art will be right, and if the promotion is wrong it will go wrong, and that’s the whole answer. The future is in the hands of the promoters.
