Born in Nairobi Kenya, on 11th April 1986, Osborne Macharia is a self-taught commercial photographer and digital artist, identified as the master of creating alternate black universes, whose work focuses on themes of Afrofuturism in culture, identity, and fiction narratives.
Unlike many people, his career breakthrough came from failing in his last unit in Bachelor's degree in Architecture. He started building his career skills, relying on research and online tutorials, and acquired some equipment to boost him in implementing all that he had learned as well as identifying with mentors who inspired him. He describes his work as a post-colonial narrative about continents, embracing history, present culture, and future aspirations through; art, music, and fashion.
