Emmanuel Moyo

Emmanuel Moyo is a Johannesburg-based artist whose practice spans portrait painting and mixed media. For more than eight years, he has been creating work that explores children’s innocence and women’s rights, weaving together themes of emotion, independence, and resilience. His art seeks to highlight the beauty and importance of women while evoking the nostalgia of childhood memories, offering viewers both personal and collective reflections.

For Emmanuel, art is a way of expressing what words often cannot, a visual language that creates space for connection, empathy, and dialogue. His portraits aim to spark reflection and engagement, inviting audiences to look beyond the surface and connect with deeper stories of humanity.

In 2025, Emmanuel celebrated a major breakthrough with his first exhibition at The Artists Gallery, Cape Town, showcasing two of his notable works, Memories (106 x 122 cm) and Resilience (106 x 122 cm). This milestone marked the beginning of broader recognition for his practice and affirmed his commitment to sharing his vision with the world.

As his journey continues, Emmanuel aspires to expand the reach of his work, allowing it to grow and evolve while connecting with audiences locally and internationally.
