Our History
KomezArt, inspired by the Kinyarwanda word "Komeza," meaning to strengthen or fortify, was born out of a crucial need to innovate and uplift the Rwandan art community during challenging times. Launched in response to the global disruptions caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, when traditional art galleries were forced to close and many Rwandan artists faced halted sales and an uncertain future, KomezArt emerged as a lifeline. By bridging the gap between artists and art enthusiasts worldwide, KomezArt has ensured that Rwanda’s rich artistic heritage continues to thrive and flourish on the global stage, turning a moment of crisis into an opportunity for growth and global recognition.
