Helen Lieros

"With an incredible knack for identifying and nurturing artistic talent, Helen regularly imparted her invaluable visual arts skills to many artists, assisting them to blossom into top-notch creatives. With the death of Helen, Zimbabwe has lost an exceptionally talented practitioner and arts administrator who contributed to the growth and development of the visual arts by putting the sector on the world’s artistic map. May her soul Rest In Peace."

""As I began to re-identify myself with the African environment, so my painting became broader and my color stronger, symbolic of the felt experience,”"

"“fight between who and what I am.”"
