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.






Paula’s early years were spent in Senegal, Angola, Venezuela, and Spain, before continuing her life journey in Germany and Switzerland. Growing up immersed in such diverse cultures and landscapes, she witnessed firsthand the interconnected and multi-layered challenges faced by both people and forests—and the urgent need to protect them.
Motivated by these experiences, Paola pursued a Master’s degree in Forestry and Environmental Engineering at the Technical University of Madrid (UPM, Spain), followed by a Ph.D. in Civil and Environmental Engineering from the Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL, Switzerland). Over more than a decade, she contributed as a scientist at Swiss research institutes like WSL and Agroscope, exploring the impacts of climate change on forests and agriculture.
Recognising the gap between scientific research and practical business solutions, Paula transitioned into sustainability consulting at Quantis. There, she helped forestry and food & beverage companies move beyond business as usual to business at its best—operating within planetary boundaries. Her expertise includes forest carbon accounting, no-deforestation policies, nature-based climate solutions and developing innovative, science-based strategies. She has partnered with global organisations such as WWF, the World Cocoa Foundation and the Science Based Targets initiatives for climate (SBTi) and nature (SBTN).
Beyond her scientific and consulting work, Paola is passionate about empowering the next generation. She currently volunteers as a facilitator for The Earth Foundation in Geneva, empowering teenagers worldwide to transform their sustainability ideas into meaningful action within their communities. Raised in a family of artists and driven by a passion to make science accessible, Paula now collaborates with Sycomore to harness the power of art in fixing the world. Through vivid creativity and compelling storytelling, she believes art can awaken hearts, inspire change, mobilise resources, and unite us all in the urgent quest to address our planet’s climate and biodiversity crises.
