Nat Mokgosi was born on February 2, 1946 in Johannesburg. As a teenager, Mokgosi painted on anything he could find including walls and his school books. As early as standard four he was presenting symbolized work, even on his classroom walls where he drew an ordinary hen with a number of chicks. The work was meaningless to most of his fellow pupils, until he explained that the picture symbolized the warm parental care they all enjoyed.

Initially Mokgosi’s medium was watercolour and gouache and most of his paintings bearing a religious theme. With time, Mokgosi focused on oils and producing work reflecting his surroundings and capturing the experiences of blacks in the townships. It is his belief that an artist should capture his surroundings.
