About Me

 I’m Solomon Kasumba—a fine artist, transformational entrepreneur and problem solver at heart. Whether through portraits, storytelling, or social initiatives, I use art as a tool to inspire change, celebrate identity and explore creative solutions to real-world challenges. My work blends craft with purpose, inviting people to see differently and connect more deeply—with God, themselves, with others and with the world around them. 

What I Do

My work revolves around creating positive change - whether through my art, entrepreneurship or philanthropic initiatives.

Dear Solomon, thank you for the beautiful, sensitive portrait you created of us. I’ve encountered few artists who pour so much dedication, sensitivity, and empathy into their work. The love is palpable! Our portrait has already touched so many people.

For me, education is more than earning a degree. This season at @inhollandhaarlem University of Applied Sciences is about developing the creativity, innovation, business and entrepreneurial skills I need to fulfill a much bigger purpose.

More than a Degree
This's to encourage & spur-on all the change-makers called to make that "impossible" dream happen.
This isn't just about earning a degree , it's about equipping a lifelong mission. I'm raising €20,000 to complete my Creative Business studies in the Netherlands, giving me the knowledge and skills to expand the work I'm already doing through art, creativity, and community impact. If my story resonates with you, I'd be incredibly honoured to have you join the journey and support the campaign or simply share it with others. 🎓 Support the campaign: https://gofund.me/c13ff62c8 🌐 Website: https://www.solomonkasumba.com/support/ Thank you for believing in this journey and for becoming part of a mission to create lasting impact through creativity. #GoFundMe #Education #CreativeLeadership #SocialImpact #ArtForChange #Creativity #SolomonKasumba #CreativeBusiness
SOLOMON FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN
Episode 1 of my new series “Drawn to Purpose” — welcome! In this first video, I take you behind the scenes of a soft pastel portrait created outdoors in one of Haarlem’s beautiful neighborhood parks. But this series isn’t just about how I make art… it’s about why I make it. Art has always been my language — a way to connect with people, spark meaningful conversations, and reflect moments of love, purpose, and faith. Today’s portrait reminded me of the beautiful, unexpected ways art brings strangers together and creates space for storytelling and healing. In this episode, I share: 🎨 The outdoor process behind this commissioned pastel portrait 🌿 Why the environment shapes the artwork 💬 How spontaneous interactions led to powerful moments of connection ❤️ The lesson I learned from the client’s feedback ✨ Why I started Drawn to Purpose — and what this journey means for both of us If this inspires you, encourages you, or sparks something in your own story, I’d love to hear from you in the comments. Thank you for being here. Stay connected, stay creative, and God bless you. — Solomon #artvlog #pastelportrait #drawntopurpose #artiststory #portraitartist #artinspiration #creativejourney #HaarlemArtist #softpastels #artwithpurpose Connect with me: www.solomonkasumba.com
Why I Make Art | Drawn to Purpose #1
Gratitude flows from realizing how much we heavily rely on God's and man's assistance to achieve any good. Today 8th June , as I cross the 35th mark, all I have in my heart is pure Gratitude for all I have and have done.
My 35th birthday reflections
I enjoy portrait drawing especially when live. The interaction with the sitter and final reaction when your reveal the sketch to them, very precious! These are two sessions I had on beautiful day in Kampala at Fairway Hotel & Spa. Visit my website to see more portraits from me https://www.solomonkasumba.com

I thank God for Christmas; a special day when we get to celebrate the birth of Jesus. For once upon a time, almost 2000 years back, in a little town called Bethlem, Love came down to us and has dwelt amongst us ever since. On my Christmas day, I sought to share this Love with some special people in a special way that's called service. @sanyubabieshome gave me that opportunity and I can never be more grateful. Share your highlights about your Christmas #special #christmas #placetovisit #mylife #volunteer #christlove

Are you Valuable? What are you doing to make yourself more valuable? One of the most rewarding pursuits in your life time is discovering your true identity and living your life's purpose. This makes you a high value man or woman. In this brief video, I suggest the two big facts about one's value that we need to know and I recommend three vital keys that any one can use to transform their life and become highly valuable. This year and any other that comes, we need to be more and more intentional about increasing the value we offer to the world and this will ensure we remain relevant in all seasons.
