Karabo Johannes Phaho
Karabo Johannes Phaho (b.2001) in Limpopo (Mokopane), has completed his honours achieving a Post Graduate Diploma in Management (Business Administration) qualification at The Wits Business School in 2023. Prior to this achievement, Karabo was an undergraduate as a marketing and management major in the Bachelor of Commerce course. It was only after obtaining this degree in 2022 that he would go on to pursue his honours qualification and practice art full time. The primary school years were a vital period in the artist's career because it was at this point that he would be introduced to pencils and drawing. Creating visual representations gradually became an important part of expressing the feelings and thoughts of Phago. It had always been a hobby but became a profession in 2020 which was his first year of tertiary education. During this time he would explore his craft by painting or drawing on unrelated surfaces such as paper, wood, clothes and even cement walls. Over the years his style would mature into using mixed media (primarily acrylic paint, charcoal, oil pastels, pencils) on paper, cardboard and canvas. He draws the majority of his inpsiration from life experiences in aspects relating to spirituality, relationships, emotions, mentality, inovcations and his position in the world and society.
