From a young age, Tshiamo has always been conscious of his creative skills. He describes his drawings to always have been more detailed and had more volume as early as in primary school and he has worked on his artistry ever since all the way throughout varsity.
Tshiamo Moleko who grew up in Soweto, is now currently based in Krugersdorp, Gauteng. He is a multidisciplinary artist but classifies as a painter. His favourite medium is oil. Moleko graduated with a BA in Visual Arts from the University of Johannesburg, and he also holds a Diploma in Graphic Design. Moleko's inspiration to create art constantly changes, he says that through his art he wants to immortalise the memories he has with his family and also that religion has played a role in inspiring his artwork and recently culture, particularly the SeTswana culture and that can be depicted in his artwork which is currently in a group exhibition at the Association for Visual Arts in Cape Town. He loves that he can use art to depict something differently from the way we see things, and he also enjoys having the ability to create.
