Richard was born in Harare in 1947, the brother of renowned first generation sculptor Boira Mteki. Richard’s sculptures are generally peaceful, they do not disturb but rather leave the viewer feeling calm and content. His work is filled with a gentle spiritual presence, usually small and compact their message is much larger than their scale. Having been sculpting for over 25 years Mteki is a master of stone carving, the strength and fluidity of his lines constantly bear witness to his experience.ยน
