Treasure Mlima

Treasure Mlima is a self-taught South African visual artist who was born in Durban in 1999. Mlima grew up in a coloured (mixed race) community which has influenced how he expresses the spectrum of being black.

A background in Architectural Draughting, from the Academic Institute of Excellence has equipped him to carve his multitude of experiences through a vantage point that reflects an abstracted-surrealistic narrative.

Mlima captures moments of everyday experiences by combining abstraction and minimalism. His influences are dually reflected in a visual composition of African contemporary narratives.
