She added the most artistic contribution, which we understand is the assimilation of African art and primitive style perfect assembly current.
Her figures are very studied because, she documented on African fabric designs and also tried to relate their dancing figures with what she could learn about the dances of the tribes of that continent. The result is always colorful, cheerful and colorful.

Gakonga is a talented artist who’s greatest gift is inspiring others to capture and enjoy the magic and colours of his homeland Kenya. Colours dance across white paper, from the burning golds and reds of a dying sunset to the hot happy colours of a tribal dance! Every painting has its own happy rhythm, one you enjoy learning and dancing along to as you create your very own African art. Song and dance are all a part of Kenyan life and Gakonga will soon have you dancing along with him to warm, happy African Music.

His paintings contain a chromatic force, with figures all mixed ethnic and between a figurative style between the abstract and geometric.
