Setlamorago Mashilo is a South African artist rooted in his heritage and finds inspiration from the proverbs and idioms of his native Sepedi language. Through drawing, sculpture, and printmaking he crafts installations that make powerful visual statements.
His art delves into themes of displacement, migration, and the profound interplay between
land and landlessness. With each piece, Mashilo extends an invitation. Not just to view, but to engage.
His philosophy is grounded in the connection to the land. “The land will decide,” he shares.
“We come full circle, no matter our resistance. Our responsibility is to shape the environment
we wish for now, for it is what future generations will inherit.”
Setlamorago Mashilo’s exclusive artwork is available for purchase on the Arete Arts
