Since 1995, James Makuac has been telling his life story through his paintings.

“I have been painting pictures since the time I lived at Kakuma, a refugee camp in Kenya,” James explains of teaching himself to paint. “I began my practice by painting on rocks, scraps of paper and discarded wood.

“My overall ambition is to tell the world, through my art, the story of the Lost Boys of Sudan. I hope that my art might reflect upon a more universal theme and speak for all people who suffer through war and oppression.”
