Tinsae Mesfin
Tinsae Mesfin was born in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, in 1998. After completing his preparatory education in 2017, he embarked on his artistic journey, studying at the Abyssinia School of Art. In 2022, he graduated from the Ale School of Fine Art and Design at Addis Ababa University, specializing in sculpture.
Since graduating, Tinsae has immersed himself in studio work, focusing on developing a distinctive style that emphasizes expression. His work is deeply influenced by Picasso, Cubism, Fauvism, and Matisse, blending these inspirations with his love for expressionism and figurative art. Drawing from photographs, fellow artists, friends, and his surroundings, Tinsae continues to explore the artistic depth of these movements while refining his unique voice in the art world.
Tinsae has exhibited his work in both group and solo shows, including the “Addis Art Exhibition” (2022) at Entoto Fine Arts Center and the “Annual Graduation Show” (2022) at Alle School of Fine Arts and Design.
