“They (portraits) are about the children of Cape Town. I wanted to show my skill and my ability to tell a story.”
Chuma Dyaloyi, the son of Ricky Dyaloyi, told SowetanLIVE that he sold out all 16 of his portraits at his school Auburn House during a market day at the weekend. His sister Sindiswa posted his pictures which have since gone viral.
“All of my friend’s parents and grandparents were buying my art and we were sold out by the end of the day,” Chuma said.“They are about the children of Cape Town. I wanted to show my skill and my ability to tell a story.”The grade 3 pupil said he started drawing when he was three-years-old and enjoys it because there are no rules to art.Although Chuma wants to be an artist like his dad, he said this would not be his main career.
