Belmiro Jemusse, also known as Jemmiro in the art scene was born in Mozambique on March 16, 1976. He moved to South Africa in 2003 to practice as a full-time artist and to escape what he describes as “limitations in Mozambique” art scene. He studied drawing, painting and printmaking at Artist Proof Studios in Johannesburg and privately in Humansdorp, Eastern Cape.

He has produced a number of art series: “Africa, Back to the Future” (featured in his debut solo Exhibition), “Fragments”, “Finding The Inner Child”, “Supermom”, “Under The Moonlight (which was featured in a solo exhibition in 2012)”, “Saudade”, “Propagation” and recently “Dreams and Shadows”.
His artworks are characterized by myth, humour, nostalgia and inquisitiveness.
