Clavers Odhiambo is not a chatty person. But his paintings are worth more than a thousand words. The similarity of his paintings to photographs is uncanny.

Sort of like the Mona Lisa by Leonardo Da Vinci, but with a modern touch or more like ‘The Supper at Emmaus,’ which was the most famous painting by Merisi da Caravaggio, the Italian Baroque master.
