Born in Nairobi, Kenya, Cyrus Kabiru is a self-taught artist who began creating his signature sculptural pieces at a young age. He gained international attention for his ability to transform discarded materials, such as scrap metal and electronic waste, into elaborate, wearable art objects.

His practice centers on the concept of the C-Stunners, a series of eyewear that challenges traditional perceptions of utility and fashion. By repurposing urban refuse, Kabiru explores themes of identity, sustainability, and the intersection of traditional African aesthetics with futuristic design.

Kabiru continues to be recognized for his contributions to contemporary African art and his role in expanding the visual language of Afrofuturism. His work has been featured in various international exhibitions, highlighting his unique approach to sculpture and assemblage.
