Jafeth Moiane is a versatile Mozambican artist, working as a painter, sculptor and photographer. He currently lives and works in Mozambique, where he has developed his artistic talent since childhood.
Jafeth Moiane started drawing and painting in 1976, while studying in primary school. From the following year, in 1977, he was already passionate about the art of painting. In 1984-1985, he took a painting course to learn the techniques of drawing in pencil, watercolor, oil and acrylic. Later, in 2013, he also took a batik painting course.
Since 2007, Jafeth Moiane regularly participates in exhibitions across Mozambique, where he presents his varied artistic works.
Currently, the paintings of Jafeth Moiane are dedicated to the people of the CABO DELGADO province, in the PALMA district, in northern Mozambique, where the French company TOTAL is building the largest oil and gas project in Africa and the world. Women and children are brutally killed there by terrorists. Since 2017, tens of thousands of people have been killed and more than 700,000 people have fled to other parts of the country with nothing, only their clothes. It is a humanitarian crisis.
Jafeth Moiane's paintings are a cry for the end of this genocide, for peace and the development of his country, Mozambique. He uses his art to raise awareness of this tragic situation and to raise his voice for the well-being of his people.
