Meet the Artist

Elisa Niyogisubizo a self-taught visual artist, curator, and collector, born and raised in Rwanda. The Founder & Gallery Director of Sundays Art Hub & Inyuguti Art Hub , located in Kigali, Rwanda.

His journey into the art world has been one of exploration, experimentation, and boundless curiosity. Without formal training from an art school, Elisa charted his own path, guided by an innate passion and determination to reach his artistic goals. From a young age, he found solace and self-expression in sketching, painting, and creating.

Reflecting on his journey, Elisa believes, “One of the most rewarding aspects of being a self-taught visual artist is the opportunity for self-discovery. I’ve had the freedom to explore my own interests and delve into subjects that truly resonate with me.” His work is deeply influenced by societal issues, particularly focusing on the wellness and living standards of the community. Each piece he creates stands as a testament to his dedication, resilience, and unwavering passion for the artistic process.

In addition to his practical art experience, Elisa has furthered his knowledge by taking courses in Art History, Criticism, and Conservation at The New Art School Modality / Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago (MCA). This academic grounding complements his hands-on approach and enriches his understanding of both the theoretical and practical aspects of art.

Elisa is also currently serving as the Ambassador of Teen Art Awards in Africa, an annual international art competition for teenagers. In this role, he supports and promotes young artistic talent across the continent, empowering the next generation of artists to express themselves and share their unique perspectives with the world.

Elisa’s philosophy centers around the belief that art is a powerful tool for expressing ideas and a means to transform today’s generation. His works address critical social messages, making art not only a creative endeavor but also a vehicle for community impact.
