New project statement
‘Selek Arts Collection' showcases the dignity behind the hands that feed us
In a world where glamour and fame often steal the spotlight, there’s an artist who has chosen to turn his attention to the unsung heroes of our society – the everyday people who do simple jobs that keep the wheels of our lives turning.
Seleman Kubwimana has embarked on a mission to showcase the dignity and importance of the hands that feed us through his remarkable artwork.
Selek’s latest series of paintings focuses on the supply chain for food, from the agricultural heartland of Musanze to the bustling city of Kigali. By highlighting the men and women who toil tirelessly to ensure food reaches our tables, he aims to elevate their role and remind us of their immense contributions.
When asked about his inspiration, Kubwimana speaks passionately, ” In Kigali, there is a process that we go through in order to get a finished product. Some people use boats to transport products from different islands. I wanted to bring attention to the often-overlooked laborers who are an integral part of the food supply chain,” he said.
“Their work is essential and deserves recognition. Through my art, I hope to honor their dignity and shed light on the intricate processes that bring food from the provinces to our plates.”
Walking through the artist’s exhibition of his paintings that he titled ‘A day in the Life’, one is immediately struck by the vivid colors and the energy that emerges from his paintings. Each canvas tells a story, capturing the essence of a different profession within the food supply chain.
The Title of a collection is (A Day In the Life)
A Day in the Life is an exceptional art collection created by Selekarts, which captures and celebrates the daily lives of working-class Rwandans in a unique and distinctive style. The artist’s use of strong contrasts between light and dark, along with bold colors, evokes the richness of Rwandan culture and tradition.
The collection depicts the daily routines of Rwandan workers, ranging from farmers to traders, artisans to laborers. Each artwork captures a specific moment in time, showcasing the energy and vibrancy of working-class life in Rwanda.
The art collection is a testament to the singular vision of the artist, showcasing the power of art to capture the essence of a people’s way of life. It celebrates the creativity, dignity, and strength of the Rwandan people, inviting viewers to glimpse into their world and honor their contribution to society.

La Critica
Avendo io moltissimi contatti con artisti da tutto il mondo, continente Africano compreso, posso tranquillamente asserire che, nel panorama dell'arte contemporanea africana, spicca prepotentemente la figura dell'artista SELEMAN KUBWIMANA
Incontrai la sua produzione pittorica qualche tempo fa e ne rimasi abbagliato ed impressionato sia per i, contenuti delle sue opere sia per la filosofia che in esse si emanava come per incanto.
Dotato di grande tecnica pittorica SELEMAN KUBWIMANA ha la grande capacità di trasportarci nella sua quotidianità usando sfondi monocromatici che, apparentemente, bloccano la nostra immaginazione, fondi ove si stagliano in un angolo minuscole figure, quasi miniature, che raffigurano la sua gente.
Gente che lavora, fatica, che si sposta sotto un sole cocente.....
Forse potremmo accostare la sua arte al surrealismo ma io credo che meglio si possa descriverla inquadrandola nell'iperrealismo magico
Questa è la magia e la grandezza di questo giovane artista del Ruanda e sicuramente nel futuro avremo modo di vedere le sue opere nelle più importanti gallerie d'arte europee.
