Entrepreneur and Philanthropist Triephornia Mpinganjira, a wife to well-known businessman Thom Mpinganjira has ordered artists who are creating her portrait to immediately stop.
In a statement posted on her official facebook page, Mpinganjira’s while acknowledging the talents displayed in the portrait, she said she has no place to display the said portraits.
“I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for the effort and love you put into sketching my face. Your talent and dedication are truly admirable, and I am honored that you chose to create art inspired by me.
“However, I must humbly admit that naturally I am not a fan of having drawing pictures or sketches of myself, and I do not have a place to hang them,” wrote Mpinganjira.
According to Mpinganjira’s wife, she has over 100 portraits in her garage waiting to be disposed.
“Please understand that this is a personal preference of mine, and it in no way diminishes the value of your art or the sentiment behind it. Your creativity and passion are gifts to be cherished, and I am deeply touched by your gesture.
“Thank you once again for your kindness and for sharing your talent with me. I hope you continue to create beautiful art that brings joy to others,” she added.
