Lukas Kaunambili Amakali, born in Windhoek in 1976, is a Namibian photographer, also a painter, visual artist and poet. Several times rewarded, he held a dozen individual exhibitions and participated in many others, in Namibia, Angola, Germany, France. He lives and works in Windhoek.
Graduated from the John Muafangejo Art Center (JMAC) in 1999, he continued to train first in film photography with Djunior Svane, then in creative digital photography with Tony Figueira. In 2007 he exhibited for the first time, alone, his graphic work and in addition published a small booklet, Lukas Vision, which combines painting and poetry.
Spirituality occupies a significant place in his approach. Attributing his talent to a gift from God, dazzled by the creation of the universe, Lukas Amakali seeks to create in turn something unique. He favors abstraction to allow the viewer to think outside the box, not to have blinders. To achieve this, he readily uses the overprint. Double exposure is also the title of an exhibition and a book he published in 2017.
