Although he began his career painting, Kaigwa discovered his real passion in the early ‘80s as a sculptor. He works with wood, glass, steel, resin, bronze and many other materials, using each medium to express different ideas and forms.
Most of Kaigwa’s sculptures are figurative and envision the human body. He likes to portray the human condition, and in some of his works you can easily detect a “commentary” note; the works are not meant to be critical but are intended to evoke thought and emotion from the viewer.
Kaigwa’s work can be found installed in a number of public spaces around Kenya and internationally. He has a studio at Kuona Trust Art Centre in Nairobi, and doubles as a thespian and a musician.
