Dan Kabiaru, also known as Saint, is a Kenyan-based artist whose practice centres on the use of torn cardboard on canvas to evoke childhood memories, resilience, and the inventive spirit of the African child. Embracing the philosophy of “less is more,” his work transforms humble materials into layered narratives of survival and imagination. Through vivid, bright, swirling colours, Kabiaru delves into deeper states of human consciousness, exploring the process of unlearning as a means of self-discovery and renewal. His art functions as a reflective mirror, inviting viewers to question why they value what they do and to consider whether these preferences arise from authentic desire or from environmental conditioning and formative life experiences.
