Haji Chilonga is a Tanzanian artist born in 1969 in the Mtwara Region. Working across painting and sculpture, his practice draws from everyday life, using figurative imagery to share personal reflection and social experience. His work has been shown locally and internationally, with training and recognition from institutions in Tanzania, Austria, and South Africa.

Chikoyo gets a kick from the process of creating the work to the point of purchase; he feels like he has fulfilled his purpose and his work is of value.
