Sfiso Mvelase
Sculptor
Raphael Njoko, whose family also lived in the Bergville district, introduced Sfiso to Ardmore and to Fée Halsted in 2002 when he was 22 years old.
Fée’s ability to teach and to give space for individual creativity has resulted in Sfiso losing none of the delightful humour and fun of his creative mind.
At first glance, it is almost impossible not to smile at his erotic animal sculptures, but on closer inspection one discovers that embodied in his charming figures there is often satire or a subtle message of significance.
