Rose-Marie Rychner

Rose-Marie Rychner was born in Germany, where she was raised and educated. She was trained in painting, restoration of icons, graphics, sculpture and textile design in Germany and France.

Moving to Africa in 1982, she continued her artistic activities in teaching art and craft in Senegal, Ivory Coast, Botswana and Uganda. Apart from that, she also managed marionette theatres with the aim to promote inter-cultural exchanges and environmental awareness, while continuing her painting.

In July 1993 she moved to Uganda. Here she started to work intensively. Using pastel painting in large sizes, she developed a more Africa-inspired, colourful harmony, woven into a distinctive style of her own. She has put her experience in art and art presentation into promoting talented young artists. Her efforts are focused on organizing exhibitions for Ugandan artists in Kampala and abroad. In 1994 she acted as curator for the Ugandan artists at "Africus", the Johannesburg biennale in South Africa.

She is the author of 'Contemporary Art - Uganda' (1996), which describes and shows the revival of the arts in Uganda after the civil war which ended in 1986. 

Over and above all these talents and activities, Rose-Marie is an accomplished documentary-video film maker and producer. Her love for Africa is reflected in everything she undertakes. As a thanks for her contributions to the development of the arts in their country, the Ugandan Government bestowed upon her the name of "Kentaro" which means "warrior".
