Bywell Sango

Bywell Sango, born in Guruve in 1979, is the younger brother of the late Brighton Sango, who influenced him to start sculpting at an early age. He developed his style mostly characterized by abstracts.

Brighton supported him to create and finish sculptures during school holidays. Working alongside his brother at home, Bywell had already shown some changes and possibilities for development.

He enjoys working in cobalt, opal, spring stone and serpentine. His inspiration is not driven from Shona myth, but rather from the shape of the stone itself. It can express an emotional reaction to a particular situation.

He plans to have as many exhibitions as possible abroad, working on huge pieces, which are above three meters in height. He aims to have his studio for his art, where he can train young and less privileged artists in Zimbabwe. Bywell exhibited his works at the National Art Gallery in 1998, and participated in competitions, winning some of the prices in 2004 and 2006. He has further exhibited his sculptures in Austria, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland and the USA.
