James Kagima is an artist and designer. At an early age, Kagima was drawn to Catholic religious art and symbolism as seen in the stained glass windows, sculptures and paintings in churches he and his family frequented. His early influences also stemmed from picture books and comics, influences still seen in his work today.
In 2016, as he pursued a degree in Architecture, Kagima also ventured into pencil portraiture, and through the Safari Mentoring Arts Program began to work in different media which he then incorporated into his practice. He has previously exhibited at Art installation at the National Museum, Affordable art show in 2022 and 2020 at the national museum and the Postcard Africa group exhibition at Alliance Francais, Nigeria in 2022.
