Influenced by her family heritage and her father’s passion for art from an early age, Nanteza was inspired to explore her artistic talents. Her signature banana fiber collages often feature vintage floral fabrics, evoke the nostalgia of her childhood. These textiles are not just decorative elements—they symbolize her connection to the past and her reverence for the natural world. A passionate advocate for the healing power of plants, Nanteza draws from her time working with a traditional medicine clinic in Masaka, where she gained invaluable knowledge about the therapeutic properties of herbal medicine. This integration of art and nature is a defining feature of her work, as she weaves together memories, dreams, and a profound respect for plants’ healing potential. Her artwork is more than a visual experience; it is a testament to her commitment to both artistic excellence and holistic well-being. Nanteza invites viewers into a world where creativity, nature, and the human spirit intersect, offering a unique and transformative perspective on the healing power of art and nature
