His name Makano means intersection, he believes that he is a bridge to connect different people or different things. Mainly working with acrylic and ink, his ability to express his vulnerability by combining writings from different languages and drawings, in his unashamed, unafraid visual expressions brings a deep connection between the viewer and his works. He currently volunteers at Faces Up Uganda, a talent development organization to pass on his experience and skills to the next generation of artists. He has been able to preach his message of black power, hope, love, faith, and Unity for many young people who need inspiration.

Makano believes that society speaks and it's his responsibility to respond. He chooses to speak through Art because it's the only way he understands the world. Whenever he reads words or writes words, he sees images. He believes everything can be expressed by words depending on how we use them. All his artworks are created by writing his thoughts in different languages (English, French, and Swahili). He believes everybody writes and when we write we have images we're holding in our minds. For him, he doesn't only write but he goes further and represents those images, those thoughts while writing. He writes those thoughts, he paints and writes at the same time.

The readability of his words disappears and vanishes with layers of thousand words written over each other. He believes words become more meaningful, more powerful, and deeper in their absence than in their presence. His personal experiences act as a point of departure for his visual expressions, a language that interrogates 2 prose, life and death. All pieces are officially untitled, he gives the viewer the opportunity to deeply connect and see themselves in the artwork then give it their own title according to how the artwork speaks to them.The honesty portrayed in his works give the viewer the choice to love him or hate him.

In 2021, Makano won the Positive Memories art contest organized by Faces Up Uganda with support from African Culture Fund, Mali. He is being showcased and represented by Faces Up Uganda, ShowRoom, and Undugu Art Gallery, Entebbe
