Art Malawi is a new venture showcasing the work of one of the struggling artists of Mangochi, Malawi, on the shores of beautiful Lake Malawi. The artist, Christopher Sambani, together with his younger brother Chicco, earn their living by painting scenes of the Lake, typical Malawian village scenes and colourful scenes of local people, selling to passers by from his little shop on the Lakeshore road. Christopher is 29 years old and lives with his wife and small daughter in a one room mudbrick dwelling with no electricity or running water.
