Martin Jakaila (b. 1988) now lives and works in Nairobi. After obtaining his Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Nairobi in 2014, he decided progressively to dedicate his time to his passion: painting- initially being mentored at Dust Depo, an artist colony at the Railway Museum, Nairobi. More recently, he was selected as the best contemporary artist at the Sondeka Awards, and was a National finalist at the Manjano Art Competition, emerging as one of the best young painters on the Kenyan art scene.
Born in the North Western part of Kenya, Jakaila is interested in the notion of the landscape, and how to render the fluctuating, distorted memories we have of the familiar landscapes of our childhood.
