Living and working in Nairobi, Elias Mung’ori was born in 1992 in Nyeri, Kenya. Before pursuing a career in visual arts, he briefly studied for a degree in Real Estate and Property Management.
Life in the urban space of Nairobi inspires Mung’ori work: he is fascinated by the city and more recently his works have begun to take the shape of social messaging. He made paintings, drawings, photography, and woodcut prints the media he uses to express himself.
Moreover, Elias is part o the BrushTu Collective, and he was also a top 10 finalist for the Barclays’ L’atelier 2017 Competition.
