Dominic Benhura (born 1968) is a Zimbabwean sculptor. Benhura was born in Murewa, to the northeast of [Harare]. His father died before his birth, and he was raised by his mother. As he was an excellent student, it was suggested that he be sent to Salisbury for further studies. His uncle had a home in the suburb of Tafara, and Benhura went to live there at the age of ten; he lived with his cousin Tapfuma Gutsa, already a well-known sculptor. Benhura began polishing his cousin's sculptures, but soon began carving himself, making small offcuts before moving onto large stone. He sold his first piece at twelve.

  • Dominic Benhura is een Zimbabwaans beeldhouwer. Benhura’s vader stierf voor zijn geboorte en hij werd opgevoed door zijn moeder. Aangezien hij goed kon leren, stuurde zij hem voor verdere studie naar Harare. Op tienjarige leeftijd ging hij bij zijn oom wonen in de buitenwijk Tafara. Daar woonde ook zijn neef Tapfuma Gutsa, die toen al een bekend beeldhouwer was. Benhura hielp zijn neef bij het polijsten van diens beelden, maar al snel begon hij zelf werk te maken. Al op twaalfjarige leeftijd verkocht hij zijn eerste werk. (nl)
