Sisay is young talented artist who perfected his craft while studying fine arts in pursuit of his advanced degree. Sisay’s work is defined by a striking interplay between color and black-and-white, a visual tension that mirrors the dualities he explores in his art-past and present, strength and vulnerability, tradition and transformation. At the heart of his compositions are the women he portrays, whose steady, unwavering gazes command attention and create an immediate connection with the viewer. These eyes do not merely look-they speak.
