Roseal Rubuno is a new painter from Birrojo village. She paints with a delicate, minimilist approach that sets her apart from other emerging painters of her generation. Her sense of space and composition is impressive for a young painter and she shows great promise as an important nioge (barkcloth) painter for the Sahuote clan of the southern-most region of the Ömie mountains.
