”FURAHA”

Posted on March 5, 2020March 5, 2020 by Seb Toussaint

“Furaha” is the swahili word for “happiness”.
The word was given to me by Brigitte, a Congolese refugee who I met and whose house I painted in Nakivale Refugee Settlement in Uganda.

Launching #ColoresParaPetare ! Along with Venezuelan artist @dagor1 we have put together a colouring book to raise money for inhabitants of Petare in Caracas, the largest slum in South America. Go to the link in my bio, download the colouring book and make a donation of the amount you want. The coronavirus lockdown and this new economic crisis is effecting an already extremely vulnerable Venezuelan population. In Petare, South America's largest slum, staying at home means getting no source of income, and therefore no food. The money will go towards both printing colouring books for the children of San Blas a sector of Petare, and buying food for the families. No one can create art on an empty stomach. LINK IN MY BIO! Thank you! And thanks to @camargokgh @smarcelot @marrcaribe and Rodrigo for helping Dagor and I! #ColouringBook #lockdown #art #petare #venezuela #stayathom #cuarentana #arte #Caracas #venezuela #ElArteNosUne

Ubuntu is a zulu word meaning a quality that includes essential human virtues like compassion and humanity. This canvas was a commission for a client. I want to take this opportunity to thank clients who are enabling us artists to make a living, especially for street artists who've seen all their outdoor work cancelled for the next few months. Thank you! Acrylic on a 60x60 canvas. . #ubuntu #SebToussaint #canvas #contemporaryurbanart #contemporaryart #urbanart #arteurbano #art #acrylic #painting #design #patterns

I made an online quiz for you to test your knowledge and learn about vulnerable people groups! The link is in the bio! I'm not going to be able to paint with vulnerable communities this spring because of the coronavirus pandemic. Let's make the most of our time behind closed doors to learn about others. Each question is followed by a short text explaining the answer. Hope you enjoy it and learn stuff! Give me your feedback! The picture was taken in Kawergosk Refugee Camp in Iraq. #quiz #sebtoussaint #iraq #refugees #refugee #withrefugees #vulnerablepeoplegroups #kurd #kurdish #UNHCR

Acrylic on a 60x60 cm canvas. For sale! Contact me. "Sueño" (Dream in Spanish) is a word that was given to me twice on Share The Word Project (in different languages) : once by Tina, a Cameroonian prostitute in Normandy and once by Sali, an Iranian refugee in Calais, France. I hope that today Tina and Sali have each gotten closer to fulfilling their dreams! I had a lot of fun painting this one, making the spray paint spit more than on my usual shading effects! Tell me what you think! . #canvas #sueno #painting #urbanart #patterns #design #colours #letters #contemporaryart #contemporaryurbanart #art #acrylic #lienzo #arteurbano #arte #sueño
