Luis Jose Meque Gugumise (10 April 1966 - 21 March 1998) was born in Province Tete, Mozambique, but started his art career in Zimbabwe where he moved when he was 20 years old because of civil war that was brewing in his home country.[1] He became a major painter in Harare, but unfortunately died young to AIDS.[2][3]
