Sydney Majengwa

Majengwa predominantly works with opal stone, which he sources from a mine in a place called Chiweshe. The pale green hue of opal allows him to meticulously detail his sculptures, particularly in his outdoor works. His sculptures often explore the interplay between tradition and modernity, with one of his most notable pieces, an opal owl, symbolizing the role of witchcraft in African culture. The owl, with its horn-like feathers and mysterious eyes, serves as a powerful representation of ancestral beliefs.
