YOUTH EMPOWERMENT.
ONE ON ONE WITH BONNIE ARTS
Every great DREAM begins with a DREAMER and a person who has the strength, the patience and the passion to reach for for the stars so as to change the world. Well, Boniface Odhiambo is just close to prove this statement right. He might not be there yet, but his determination, sweat and hard work in what he does can tell that he is almost there. As an ARTIST, he is putting his best to reach for his dream and goals. He sat down with Elvis Alphy and opened to him about his journey so far in the industry and also where he sees himself in the near future.
So first things first, tell our viewers about yourself?
My name is Boniface O. Odhiambo, i am 20 years old. I live in Eldoret town and am a fine artist. Am the forth born from a family of six. I enjoy swimming and playing tennis.
When did you discover your talent in Drawing or rather, when did you start drawing?
I have been drawing ever since i was in primary school, as i progressed, the passion grew more and more until i got to high school and decided to take it more serious.
What has always driven you to draw?
Most if the time, art has been like my therapy. When i am undergoing difficult situation or when i am depressed i just pick a pen and paper and draw whatever thing that comes to my head. But not at all times, I believe in art so much, there is just this special connection between us that i can't really start explaining but to me Art is the Food for my Soul.
What has always inspired you to draw?
Hmm, i can't really tell but to be honest, the environment is what inspires me to draw and also for the love that i have for arts.
Okay, Briefly tell us how your journey has been so far since you started?
I must say, the journey has not been easy. The going has been tough. At first, it was so hard for me to find a mentor who could inspire me and guide me before joining this industry. You just don't jump into a new field without seeking help from the players who have been in that field you want to join. Without clear guidelines and assistance, one can really really mess up. Eventually, i met Carolly Arts online who inspired me to start with what i have.. Also,marketing my brand was so hard for me. It reached a point that i almost gave up everything that i had. So am slowly progressing and clearing the obstacles that are on my way. Slowly by Slowly, I will reach there.
Do you have any plans of pursuing ARTS as a serious career?
Yes, I plan to pursue it as a serious career. I am currently looking forward to join B.I.F.A ( Buruburu Institute Of Fine Arts) which will greatly improve my skill in Drawing.
Wow, that's great. Has Social Media played a positive role in your work?
Yes, social media has been one of the most influential factor in my work.It has really helped me when it comes to marketing. Also, i usually met most of my clients through Facebook and Instagram.
So, i bet you have that person who you really look up to?
Yes, I have. Carolly Arts who inspired me to start drawing and Picasso. I really look up to Carolly Arts, he is so successful but has the same story like mine, so when i pass through this challenges in my day to day life as an artist, i think of Carolly and know that all will be well.
Apart from drawing, do you have any other hidden talents?
HaHa, i cant call it hidden talents. But i also Dance and Play guitar.
Haha, talk of being Multi Talented, Any way am sure your parents are proud of what you are doing?
Yeah, they are. Come on, without them, could i be here. They are my biggest supporters. They really love what i do.
Do you earn from what you do?
Yeah, i pay rent from this. HEHE!!!!!
OH, That is so great, How much do you charge per drawing?
I usually charge as low as 500sh but it depends with the sizes and the quality of the drawing.
What plans do you have for the future?
I want to learn all forms of arts and even explore the world and get more and more deeper into arts.
