Tresor Kwizera's abstract paintings have one thing in common, a lady clad in brightly coloured dress, with her baby strapped to her back as she does household chores.



"My main objective is to promote the Rwandan woman through art. The role of women in our society has been ignored for long yet they play a crucial role in society. I am promoting that using art," says Kwizera.
