Untitled, Ink on Paper, 96.5 x 64cm, 2023
Antony Mege Ng’an’ga was born in 1993. He was brought up in Nairobi.
“As a kid I always had a piece of paper and a pen and was scribbling and doodling for fun. I became fascinated by this as, most of the time,
I had no idea what this scribbling would lead to. On occasions, I was even surprised to see what ‘artwork’ I had created with my scribbling and doodling.
This became eventually my passion, as it was something I had not seen before”
After finishing Secondary School he enrolled in the Buru Buru Institute of Fine Arts and graduated with a Diploma in Fine Arts in 2015.
In 2016 he was awarded the first price in the Manjano Art Competition in Nairobi for upcoming artists.
Antony’s artworks are meticulously and painstakingly executed and have gradually developed from the ‘scribbling and doodling’ culture into mature and fascinating artworks.
He draws delicate lines, ink on white paper and his exceptional pen brings the viewer to notice incredible details of a mystic almost surreal nature.
