Cliff Kibuuka
Cliff Kibuuka (b. 1980) is a Ugandan artist living and working in Norway, known for his distinctive style of painting. Since beginning his professional art career in 2005, Cliff has become a prominent figure in the East-African art scene, recognized for his masterful use of oil colors on canvas. Over the years, he has developed a unique technique using a palette knife, creating sharp strokes, shapes, textures, and vibrant colors that have become hallmarks of his work.
Cliff’s paintings offer a well-balanced blend of myth, illusion, and the reality of everyday landscapes and scenery, challenging viewers to see their surroundings with a renewed sense of appreciation. Much of his inspiration is drawn from his childhood in Africa, now enriched with European interpretations since his relocation to Norway.
Cliff holds a Bachelor's degree in Industrial and Fine Art from Makerere University in Kampala, Uganda. Recently, he established a new studio on the outskirts of Oslo, where he continues to explore and expand his artistic practice.
