Add to Wishlist Top Artists

South African 1977- 

Collen was born on 17 January 1977, in the rural village of Noblehoek near Giyani, Limpopo Province, South Africa. Collen comes from an artistic family. His father is the well-known sculptor Johannes Maswanganyi, and like him, Collen works in the medium of wood. Collen started school at Haaka Primary School in 1983. He passed his matric at two different schools; namely, Ndengeza High School in 1995 and N'wamavimbi High School in 1996.

He registered for a Fine Arts Diploma at Technicon Witwatersrand from 1996 to 1999. After obtaining his Diploma in Fine Arts, Collen began his journey as a full-time artist. “My art is about the old and the new. I look at life generally where I make sculptures dressed in African and modern ways. I look at technological development. My most popular works involve people or couples speaking on phones or people dressed modestly”.

Collen’s works are collected by private collectors, corporates, museums and galleries. Collen aims to exhibit internationally just like his father and other sculptors from his region.
