Stock photography, photos: Tinga Tinga Art - Tanzania Stock photos of Tinga Tinga Art was introduced on the island of Zanzibar in the early nineties, by artists who came over from mainland Tanzania, where the art was pioneered by a shamba boy (farm boy in Kiswahili) named Edward Said Tinga Tinga. Tinga Tinga is one of the many forms of Impressionism the beautiful and mysterious continent of Africa has given birth to. Unlike Western styles of Impressionism, Tinga Tinga Art gets its unique and vibrant style from the magnificent natural surroundings of Africa. A striking feature in most of these paintings is the way the artists capture the animals of the Eastern coast of Africa, in what appears as a distorted yet very interesting image of the original creature.
