Art is Passion. Art is Joy. Art is Emotion.
Art is a wordless language, without rhyme or rule. It’s a way to tell stories and express feelings. Where words are silent, art speaks eloquently and can touch the deepest layers of the soul. It doesn’t have to please everyone. It should give you hope, joy and liberation.
Art is limitless freedom.
This is my philosophy. I apply it creatively with my love of color and design styling to offer a broad range of products as well as deliver custom orders. These span many techniques, such as drawings, airbrushing, canvas painting, tattoo templating and digital artwork, on media as diverse as slate or wood.
I translate your precious vision and uniquely render it. I hope you draw inspiration from my portfolio and you are always welcome to get in touch with your individual ideas.
Nothing is beyond possibility. I’m looking forward to hearing from you.
Inspirations
Wherever I go, I look out for ART. Not that of established artists shown in famous galleries, that is out of reach for most. Rather it is inconspicuous art - often hidden from plain view - that is accessible to all. The kind of art that tells stories of the soil and highlights important social issues in playful and colorful ways. Art that makes one smile and imbues one with hope.
Some of my favorite works are ones I stumbled on all around Cape Town, that veritable melting pot of cultures. Paintings of endangered animals, hunted mercilessly for their skin, their meat and their bones. Others are paintings that tell stories of people and the violation or brave assertion of their rights. Yet others are ones that colorfully engage local communities, especially the children, helping them feel safe and welcome.
My love, AFRICA. I fell in love with this breathtaking land of natural beauty and its kind-hearted people. A vast continent of kaleidoscopes, home to tremendous deserts, endless rough nature, extensive wildlife, thousands of tongues and different cultures to discover. Africa colors my being.
And more still. The people, their smile, their friendliness and open attitude. It’s their generosity that shows they understand the purpose and importance of human interactions in life. For me, Africa is the tender music of my soul, my inspiration. The scarlet in my veins and the purple on my paintbrush.
Africa, my love. It always feels like coming home.
