Githaka Karuri is a mosaic artist whose path has been shaped by lived experience, self-learning, and the guidance of many teachers encountered along the way. Without formal art school training, his practice emerged through curiosity, discipline, and devotion to craft.

Mosaic became the medium through which his creative lineage took root. What began as a solitary exploration has grown into a practice held in gratitude—one that honors those who taught him and seeks to pass that knowledge forward. He works not only as a maker, but as a keeper of skills, processes, and ways of seeing.

His creative expression extends into poetry, jewelry, weaving, natural building, and regenerative food systems, each informing the other.

Githaka has led and collaborated on mosaic murals for institutions including Safaricom, Nyumbani Children’s Village, Shree Kuchi Leva Patel Samaj School, and Sacred Heart Cathedral, alongside numerous private commissions in Kenya. His works also live in homes across the world.
