Desta Hagos is a renowned Ethiopian painter whose artists legacy spans over more than 40 years and is an inspiration for many young Africans in the artist community.
One of the most prominent public figures in art in Ethiopia, Desta is inspiring generations of female artists to not only pursue their passion but to also survive and thrive in their endeavors as artists.
Desta’s coming-to-birth story is a fascinating one of perseverance and unfaltering dedication to art, breaking barriers in gender inequality and creating a path for the next generation. She has gained respect among her peers and respect from all those that have followed her rise to success. Her perseverance, tenacity and wonderful reputation has made her an icon to the young creative men and women, who are more often not encouraged to follow their artistic passion and thrive.
Her abstract style borrows heavily from African and particularly Ethiopian culture, giving us a modern but still African view of art.
