Wesley Osoro

Print Price: £130
Original Price: £1,600

This was an art studio that really inspired me with dreams of brushstrokes.  The studio is like a bright hallway lined with colourful canvases, a young schoolgirl with a maroon backpack pauses at the art studio stop. She felt the pulse of creativity calling her forward, inspiring her to turn every challenge into a masterpiece. With each step, she discovered greater pieces. It was so inspiring that I took a photo of her and showed her. She was really happy that I told her that I was going to paint her master piece as part of my school kids series.

Across the world, education remains one of the most powerful yet unequal forces shaping our future. Millions of children, and especially girls, are denied access to even the most basic learning, held back by poverty, conflict, and systemic inequality. Without education, potential is silenced before it has the chance to be heard, and entire generations are locked out of opportunity.

This artwork exists to rewrite that future.

It is not just a depiction of learning, it is a catalyst for it. Through Sycomore, every sale of this piece directly contributes to real, measurable solutions: funding access to education, supporting teachers, building infrastructure, and unlocking knowledge where it is needed most.

Owning this piece is more than acquiring something beautiful. It is an investment in human potential, a living connection between art and education, where every brushstroke carries the power to open minds, change lives, and shape a better world.

Wesley Osoro is a 29-year-old artist from Kibera, Nairobi. He was one of the first artists to join the Uweza Art Program, starting in 2011. At the time, he was involved in many of Uweza’s activities, including art, dance, and soccer. Painting was new to him when he joined, but it quickly became his focus and full-time job.

Wesley’s work centers on daily life in Kibera.  He draws inspiration from the people and moments around him, working from both memory and photographs. His art features faceless figures, a signature element that reflects the anonymity and overlooked stories of people living in informal settlements. His subjects often include women, children, and students. One of his current series, “The White Collar,” focuses on children in school uniforms walking through Kibera and the promises of a bright white collar job in the future.

He works mainly with acrylic on canvas, but also experiments with oils and charcoal. His creative process usually begins with preparing the canvas, sketching the scene, and then building up shading and detail.  Wesley says art has brought him both freedom and opportunity. It helped fund his education and became a steady source of income. He is the topselling artist at Uweza Art Gallery and gives back by giving art classes to children at Uweza.   

His long-term goals include growing as a professional artist and supporting the next generation of young artists in Kibera. He wants to help children discover their strengths through art, just as he did.
