Beauty

More quotes by Beatrice Wanjiku

Being married and having kids is the pinnacle of success especially in an African setting.

My work transformed because I spoke of the human condition. I am painting what is very real to me

When you stop caring how people look at you and at your work, you are freer

For me, human bodies are a metaphor for mental frames of reference

I always had the need to understand how things work

Whose veil is unremoved
Till heart with heart in concord beats,
And the lover is beloved.

The eyes of men without an orator.
