About the Artist
Kganya Mogashoa (b 1994) is the founder of Koranges Art (pty) Ltd. She is currently working and based in South Africa, Johannesburg. She enrolled at the University of Johannesburg to study Interior Design (2013 – 2016) where she obtained her Btech Honours Degree, and eventually quit her full-time job to pursue her passion for Visual Art in December 2019.
She is a self-taught multi-disciplinary artist who creates mixed media and primarily oil paintings. She focuses mainly on portraiture. Her artwork is inspired by people in and around her life, her journey with God, her heartfelt life events, and the desire to resolve social ills closely related to women and mental health.
As a contemporary artist, her desire to seeing a changed narrative propels her to capture moments, inspiring women or general people in her life that reflect the change she wants to see. In her most recent series she explores various techniques, incorporating the richness of colour to suggest the inclusion of people from all ethnic backgrounds, placing an emphasis on the reality of mental health on every person.
“I #LivetoTell the story of a restored world. Through my artistic expression, I intend to restore joy, dignity, and a meaningful sense of love in people’s hearts during the unprecedented times we are living in, by also challenging the status quo in people’s ideas and belief systems.”
