Boet Nyariri is a classic family man who is very focused on the education of his children and this value is often portrayed in his work.
Boet was born in 1977 in the rural area of Mhondoro in
Zimbabwe. When Boet was at secondary school, he went
to live with his grandfather & it was then that he met
sculptor Tinashe Makaza & began sculpting with him.
Stone sculpture became a part of him & this passion has
never left him. His delicate and intricately detailed
sculptures, combined with original & intriguing subject
matter, make him one of the finest sculptors in Zimbabwe.
Boet's work is fresh & dramatic. It takes a huge amount of
skill to sculpt springstone as it is a very hard stone.
Boet has won numerous prestigious awards. His works
have been exhibited & collected internationally.
Sculpted in one piece of Springstone by Boet Nyariri, one of the hottest artists in

Zimbabwe's arts elite for one of the brightest stars in a new generation of
talent.
