Who are we

 

Splash of Africa is originally an online African art gallery store with an amazing focus on original African Art straight from the source from our Artists living on the African continent. Soon we will be opening our first physical store in Mjøndalen for more information see our News section.

We have a small but dedicated team based in Norway, United Kingdom, Netherlands and Western Africa.

In Norway, we have Edwina Jenny Taylor our founder and inspirator, Tryge Flathen the one keeping it together, Hans Martin Forsund who helps with the normal operations and Petter Horntvedt our IT genius responsible for making this great site and last but not least Dimitri van Rijsten our shipping expert.

In West Africa, we have two team members Sam Abinon and Lawrence Kamara whom are in constant contact with our artists and make sure that paintings ordered for a paid for fully and send over to us here if we don’t bring them ourself during our African trips.

In the Netherlands we have Edwin Goud our 2nd IT guy and Johana Bisong Goud Ngoh lady of commerce.

In the United Kingdom we have Sylvie Ndahimana our European based artist who comes up with the most beautiful designs.
