Waves of Change: Armand’s Journey Through Art and Awareness

From a life entangled in crime and addiction to a future built on creativity and purpose, Namibian artist Armand Welsket shares his powerful journey of transformation. Through the Waves of Change initiative, Armand found a way to reconnect with himself, rebuild trust, and channel his passion for painting into a force for good. His art carries a message of hope and awareness, highlighting the fragile Benguela Current ecosystem, the plight of endangered species like the African penguin, and the urgent need to protect our oceans. Armand’s story is not just about personal change—it’s a call to action for communities and leaders to invest in skills, opportunities, and a sustainable future.
