About Me

My name is Abdulla Khamis Omar, also known as Dullah Wise. I was born on 12/12/1990 in the Island of Unguja. Unguja is the main Island that makes up Zanzibar, which is located on the East coast of Tanzania. Zanzibar is best known for its production of Spices, though it holds many secrets including one of the oldest slave market in Africa, which is located in heart of Stone Town (UNESCO world heritage site).

I’m one of the upcoming artist in the Islands. In case you are wondering why I’ve decided to use Dullah Wise as my sign name, STOP. Dullah is just short for Abdulla and Wise is my nick name.

I have been drawing ever since I can remember. One day when I was just eleven years old my father caught me scribbling in my exercise book. I thought I was a goner, but much to my surprise instead punishing me, he was impressed and inrolled me in an art school. Shortly after that a dream was born.

One day when I was at beach drawing Zanzibar dhow a tourist walked by and convinced me to sell my painting for 30$. That is when I realized I could make a living out of it.


Since that I'm addicted to paint, to express my feelings and it makes me happy.
