The
majority of our Masai art is painted using a technique called blade
painting. Here the artists use oil paints and a small blade to create
magnificent designs. Have a look for yourself I’m sure you will find a
few that you like if not all of them!The
paintings in the Masai category depict the Masai tribe who mainly reside
near the game parks in East Africa. The Inkajijik (houses/huts) are
usually star or loaf shaped made with mud, sticks, grass and cow dung
and are usually made by women within the tribe. Many of our pictures
depict the Masai tribe and culture through the use of vibrant colours
and creative thinking.
