About

Sima Sibanda

multidisciplinary artist based in Swansea, Wales.

My creative practice is rooted in fluid art and expanded through mixed media, fabric, watercolour, and spray paint. Through colour, movement, and layered textures, I explore themes of identity, memory, cultural continuity, and lived experience.

While fluid art forms the foundation of my practice, my work often incorporates diverse materials to create depth, movement, and narrative. Drawing from historical references, fashion, nature, and personal experience, my work aims to spark dialogue, reflection, and emotional connection.

Alongside my artistic practice, I am currently a Board Member at Mission Gallery, Swansea, supporting the gallery’s work in contemporary visual art and creative engagement within the community.

Some of my earlier works were created under the artist name GE.

I find beauty in the most mundane objects and I breathe new life into them through art
