Garikai Bonjisi Picture1 r

Garikai Bonjisi, comes from the notable Bonjisi family of Zimbabwean sculptors, and stands out as a prominent artist in contemporary Shona stone art's third generation. Born in 1982 and twin to Tafunga, Garikai spent his formative years in Ruwa and concluded his education in Tafara.

His early interest in stone sculpture led him to his elder brother, Lameck, an accomplished sculptor who had trained under the renowned Nicholas Mukomberanwa. Under Lameck's mentorship, Tafunga refined his craft.

Starting in 2000, Tafunga developed his signature style. While rooted in traditional Shona techniques, his works are distinguished by their balance and finishing. He often chooses robust stones like Springstone, Cobalt, or Opal for his creations, with a special focus on representing the human form. Through his pieces, Garikai continues the Bonjisi family's rich tradition in Zimbabwean stone art.

Garikai’s work is sold internationally to galleries and private collectors.
