Rwandan paintings, from the hills to your wall.

Painting is one of the most collected forms of ubuhanzi in Rwanda today. Studios in Kigali sit alongside makers in Musanze, Huye, Rubavu, and smaller towns — each with a different eye on the same country.

Look for a named umuhanzi, clear medium and dimensions, and a story you want to take home. Smaller works and unframed canvases often travel more easily; larger pieces can ship across East Africa and further once you are back.

Pair a painting with Imigongo or Agaseke if you are building a collection that holds both contemporary studio practice and living craft tradition.
