I’m a South African born artist from Durban and currently based in Johannesburg. My medium of work
is painting, figurative and portraiture, taking a critical view on social and spiritual matters.
Graduated with a Diploma in Multimedia Studies, through the Centre For Fine Art, Animation
and Design College, in Johannesburg. I have a varied experience and knowledge in design, having
worked for few advertising agencies in Johannesburg.
In my current works is a series of paintings, titled “in search of the miraculous”. The title is inspired by
a book of P. D. Ouspensky. I associate miracles with God hence the doves appearing frequently in this
body of work, also denoting peace, love and harmony. I believe that doing my passion (painting) is how I
thank God for this precious gift called life and also it’s a medium which helps me discover a way of life
to be a better person. My work is about self awereness, self knowing and questioning everything in
reality. It’s influenced by surrealism, classical paintings and old masters like Rembrandt and
Caravaggio. I get inspiration from books, metaphors, allegories, mythology, philosophy and
everything that resonates with me I try to interpret that through my work.

In my work I try to capture chaos and order with figures in spaces; chaos representing the
struggles we as human beings go through and order denoting our resilience. These figures
look incomplete as an embodiment of us because we're also not complete but enough.
I also write about my work based on esoteric knowledge; Astrology, Numerology and Greek
mythology etc...
