Bio
A Johannesburg based visual artist born in 1998 in Estcourt, KwaZulu-Natal. Mfuphi is a self-taught artist whose practice is shaped by memory, resilience, and the transformative power of lived experience.
His work engages deeply with questions of identity, history, and the human condition, particularly how childhood, displacement, and socioeconomic realities inform who we become. Drawing from personal and collective narratives, Mfuphi uses art as both a form of healing and a vehicle for critical reflection.
