Abiy Eshete

Biography

My name is Abiy Eshete, I am 37 years old and I live in Addis Ababa. I was born in the Oromiya region of Ethiopia. I began painting in primary school.

A few years later, seeing that this passion was still alive, I undertook a four-year training programme at the Oromiya Institute of Culture and Tourism. This allowed me to learn more about myself and to develop varied skills. I also hold a B.A. in Art, obtained from Addis Ababa University.

I devote myself entirely to my art and I have the good fortune — and the pleasure — of exhibiting both in Ethiopia and internationally.
