John Mainga was the predecessor of Joseph Masila and the originator of this type of art. In 1999 John Mainga was backed-into by a matatu (local transport - minivan) and killed. But not before he produced the very unique and now very valuable paintings on leather. These leather paintings are rare and draw a high price to those that collected them in the early '90s.
