“If you are not creating art to engage socially and stimulate the viewer to reflect, then what are you making it for?”
Naisula focuses in her art on the dimensions and complexities that speak to our female identity. Through the use of mixed media, she achieves depth and dimension with her work, playing on the concept that capturing it all through one singular-complete image is impossible.
Naisula comes from a mixed cultural identity herself. Born in Amsterdam, she moved to Tanzania, her mother’s home country at a young age. She grew up in Tanzania and Kenya, and it was there in East Africa that she developed the urge to address and translate the stories told and overheard - through the universal language of art.
In 2018 the renowned University of Arts London accepted Naisula. Surrounded by talented artists and mentors, she continued developing and expanding her work and using different techniques. Yet still with the same focus on ensuring that each detail attained contributes to the female voice being heard, aiming to create a deeper and richer appreciation of the female identity and all that comes with it. Having exhibited in the Netherlands and the Caribbean, Naisula recently moved back to the African continent, motivated to share her experiences and engage with African society where her passion for art was ignited.
