Batanayi Tawengwa was born in 1983 in Zimbabwe. He is living in Marondera
(Zimbabwe). It was in high school that his
artistic talent was first recognized and acknowledged publicity. In 1999, at
the age of 16, he won the Allied School Arts competition. In his second year
(2002) in the Applied Art and Design program at Harare Polytechnic College he
placed at top of his class. Batanayi's work is a reflection of his environment.
His pieces depict the time and labour required by rural life, and the
relationship between that life and the character of those who live it.
