John Ndumia is one of the upcoming artists at Art Orodha Kenya. He is a self-taught artist who works with the mixed medium. Ndumia’s inspiration is the day to day life in the society and orodha(waste) and would wish to transform the mindset of the youths in korogocho, where he was brought up.
What is a waste to everyone he has a way of using it in his art and sees waste as resource. He grew knowing he would be an artist but never paid attention back then till he met Cyrus Kabiru.Ndumia’s plan is to grow beyond what he is doing at the moment.
John says his art is freedom as he works with readily available materials, things that people see as waste and which have no negative impact on the environment.
