Two years ago, Marius Frank Ajuma's biggest dream was to stage a solo exhibition. As a young artist, he woke up and slept to art, but his craft lacked focus. Then a chance meeting with a curator at Karen Country Club, impressed by the emotional power of his lake-themed work, gave him the direction he needed.

This week his dream came true. Janam, his first solo exhibition at the Kenya National Museum in Nairobi is a collection that explores the vibrancy and complexity of life around Lake Victoria, a place he calls home.
