About Makeba

Makeba’s art is not defined by direction, but by attitude. Her devotion to abstraction shapes her free and multi-layered practice. It explores typical personal and emotional issues and questions, as well as offering criticism and praise regarding social norms and societal changes. It also looks at how different perspectives can be exchanged.
From an early age, she shaped spaces, colors, and forms with natural ease. Creativity was never a pastime, but an inner calling. She also lends sculptures and objects a distinctive voice through color.
Today, in Germany, Makeba designs not only art, but living spaces. With a refined sensitivity for aesthetics and character, she grants places renewed radiance and soul.

Makeba draws profound inspiration from the temple - like atmosphere of her surroundings - in both countries she calls home. She creates within an almost sacred space, where light moves gently and brightness never overwhelms. The harmonious interplay of light awakens her passion and accompanies her creative energy.
With each work, Makeba carries a deep personal connection; every line and every color tells a singular story. 

Metal as a medium reflects Makeba’s love of logic and her almost detached indifference to subjects and trains of thought that are of little relevance to her. Colours are an expression of your rich emotional world and your refined sensibility. Two opposites that have now come to harmonise. Two opposites that have now found common ground.

The common thread is undoubtedly to be found in the design. From the very beginning of her artistic career, Makeba has worked with materials and colours.

It is also characteristic that tranquillity, music and contentment always prevail when she paints. “And please, an aesthetic environment,” in her own words. So no suffering or drama, but rather inspiration drawn from contentment and a matter-of-fact view of ‘dramas’, should they arise.

Japanese influences can be found in Makeba’s private life, as well as repeatedly in her art. Her deep affection for Japan led her, at the time, to acquire her mascot: an 18th-century woodblock print of a cat. Makeba is planning to travel to Japan again to exhibit her work there. Exhibitions in Cameroon, Senegal and Ghana are already in the planning stages and will take place at the end of 2026.
