Photography, being a part on his curriculum, aroused his interest in the creative part of this discipline. This clearly shows in his current work.

When Karski painted his first big mural in the slums of Harare, Zimbabwe, he found out how much a painting does for the people living close proximity.. Before the paintings were made, people where ashamed to tell others they were living in this area, but after the paintings were finished, people became proud to say they were living in one of the “art buildings”. The fact that Karski his art can make people feel proud of their neighborhood is more than a positive side effect.

For Karski, art is a way to express himself, and doing big murals such as these is what makes him feel alive. Each of his paintings tells a story. It is therefore that he truly is a modern storyteller.

Karski his murals didn’t go unnoticed.
