Creativity for a Cause – Supporting Education

Join us for a unique online auction featuring the breathtaking works of renowned Sierra Leonean artist Sahr Songu Mbriwa.

We are excited to introduce you to Sahr Songu Mbriwa, a talented painter from Sierra Leone whose work captures the vibrant culture and rich heritage of West Africa.

Sahr is the founder of Bondumani Art Gallery and School, based in his home country of Sierra Leone. Bonduani Art Gallery has hosted several unique art culture exhibitions internationally. As an artist, Sahr is known for his brilliant use of color and his hyper-realistic paintings. He has done portraits for figures like Jay Z and Anthony Rudiger, but his reach is even more expansive.

He has sold over a thousand pieces, and his artistry has been featured on CNN ( https://www.cnn.com/videos/world/2023/03/07/exp-sierra-leone-bondumani-art-asher-030712pseg2-cnni-world.cnn )and various local and international publications. Sahr's paintings have also been unveiled by the US Ambassador in Sierra Leone and the Sierra Leone Ambassador in the US.

His overall dream is to open the most significant art school in Africa, with a mission to provide free learning opportunities to young artists who lack the financial capacity to master their talent.

This exclusive collection showcases original pieces that capture Africa's vibrant culture, history, and landscapes. It also includes framed canvas prints (from Sahr's paintings) and a unique custom art drawing of an African girl (done by a freelancer for another project).
