ARTIST | RICHARD MAAMBIRE AKA RICHKIDIE.

My Name is Richard Maambire, a 19 years Bulawayo based artist. I started my art career when l was doing my primary level in 2015. In the same year, l discovered that the use of autocratic, power, could help me push on my talent. From there, l saw that l could sharpen my skills and become something unique in the art industry. In 2018, l came out with a brand name for my art, which l named, Billion Dollar Art (BDA).

I have been the BDA man, since the year 2018. I have drawn and painted many different, portraits, such as family portraits, wildlife just to mention a few. In the same year, in 2018, I managed to work with the National Gallery of Zimbabwe (NGZ) .l worked, very well with them, they helped me to sharpen my skills, a bit better. In 2019, I got introduced to the most, talked about, most sang about, most written about, portrait and the most expensive portrait in the world that was painted by the, Italian artist, Lernado Da Vinci. Just by glancing at the snap of the portrait, I got motivated and l pulled, so hard, l felt so challenged, l told myself that l wasn't an artist. I tried by all means to crack out of the shell. I had heard and watched many clips talking aboutt stepping out of the comfort zone, I couldn't get the sense. I had attended many competition, like the Art, Of Health, DASAF, to mention but a few.

"Giving up hasn't been my language"

"I almost quit”, in 2020, l drew one portrait, that took my name to the nation, after working so hard quite for a long time. On the 27th of November 2020, l got the chance to be screened on the National Television (ZTV). My journey hasn't been romantic at all but giving up hasn't been my language. Whenever l look at my previous little achievements l get motivated to keep on pushing and calling, one day l will get the respect l deserve.
