Born in Santiago, Domingos Silva, 43 years old, has been an artisan for several years.

His initiation into art took place shortly after Cape Verde's independence, in primary school, through the crafts class. This experience that awakened him to the world of plasticity of materials and production, was completed by the influences of master craftsmen, with whom throughout his career he had the opportunity to learn and acquire new knowledge Without formal artistic education, Djumanga is self-taught, excellent creator of works, in different types of media. He preferably chooses raw materials of organic origin for his production, but he also works in stone and sheet metal. The x-ato is his favorite tool, with which he brings to life the works presented here.

2 weeks of work, to give life to these date palm turtles that Djumanga, with a unique smile, makes available to you.
