About
My Art Practise
“I am an artist wanting to produce art that could stand as a material and a tool to teach and address South African socio-politics. I strive to influence a culture of reading within the South African communities and wanting to create a great supply of literature books and art that is informative and yet explains South African humanity”
“Reading for me opens up new worlds, it lets the reader discover new places and people in different ways of living without ever leaving their homes. The same way an artwork does when it’s hanging on the wall, and thus far, that is the reason why my art reflects the art of storytelling through multi-lingual conceptions and limitless possibilities”
