Upon identifying the wood, he sketches the sculpture and begins the process of chiselling and curving out the wood until he arrives at the final product.
Curving out the best sculpture is a very rigorous, patient, time-consuming endeavour which thrives on fine margins.
One small error and everything is lost, but Nizeyimana derives his pleasure and passion from this because for him every sculpture carries a meaning.
He was among the top four sculptors who prepared the esteemed Kwanda Sculpture Exhibition, held at L’espace in August 2022, further solidifying his reputation as a distinguished artist.
Nizeyimana’s talent gained recognition on an international level when he was chosen as one of the exhibiting artists at the 73rd FIFA Congress in 2023, a prestigious event that took place in Kigali, Rwanda.
His art cuts across, with most of the themes he works on linked to African heritage and traditions, stretching all the way to South Africa, Kenya, Tanzania and many more.
The themes can be anything; African women, hairstyles, the African child and the idea is to bring it out in a way that it connects with the people he is communicating to. It is his signature art.
