Nyota Kasongo
As an artist, I like my work to reflect a part of my life. My art is very personal. In some of my work, I like to address my mental health issues. Recently, I have been using my body as a subject to confront my body dysmorphia. I also like to make art about fantastic worlds I dream about. I like to explore worlds where things do not always make sense, but people enjoy the madness that I create.
For my inspiration, I watch animes and cartoons. It sparks my creative process. My art usually consists of acrylic paint on canvas. At times, I use a mix of paint and graphite pencil on paper.
For this project, I explore an underwater world that I often dream of. When I explore fantasy, it is when I am the happiest.
