Skilled Artistic Hand of Lone
Lone Gaumakwe is a very self-effacing and determined young Motswana artist who creates human portraits using charcoal and graphite pencils. He has dreams of becoming one of the utmost fine artists in Botswana and out of the country. To him, Art is a way of communicating and expressing feelings depending on how he feels at that moment. It is also like a language, one that everybody understands, one that connects us and one that doesn’t need rules or limits & doesn’t even need words.
Lone chose to communicate through drawings unlike other means such as writing, visuals, poetry and others. He realised his art skills when he was doing grade four. “The type of art that I do falls under a category of art called fine arts that is the art of drawing & it has changed my life in a way that now I am able to satisfy my needs & wants since I earn money out of it,” he said. His art is inspired by other artists that he follows on social media platforms but so far he hasn’t exhibited his work yet.
According to Lone, he hasn’t faced any challenges so far from his line of work apart from shortage of materials & critics from some of his age mates. He sees himself grown big in Art business in the near future with more skills. At the moment Lone is mainly focused on doing art, there is nothing else that he does. He keeps on going forward with art more even he believes that there is nothing in this world that he would be apart from being an artist.
