Happy Birthday to the legendary Afewerk Tekle! Your brush strokes have painted Ethiopia's culture into history, and your masterpieces continue to dazzle us all. Winning the Haile Selassie I Prize for Fine Arts was just icing on a cake already rich with creativity—though we suspect you might prefer paintbrushes over candles!Your vibrant murals and iconic stained-glass windows remain timeless treasures that inspire generations. Today, may your celebration be as colorful as your palette, filled with laughter brighter than any canvas you've created. Here's wishing you another year of artistic brilliance—and fewer accidental paint splatters on clothes!
