About "After the Storm"

"After the Storm" by Mark Boshoff is a visually arresting meditation on emotional duality and symbolic contrast. A man lies motionless on the ground, eyes closed, while a woman sits beside him in quiet contemplation--both clad in denim, their postures echoing intimacy and distance. Behind them, a white floral arch stands delicately on a green lawn that fades into barren earth, suggesting a threshold between hope and desolation. Above, a stormy sky crackles with lightning, its drama amplified by the swirling tension in the air. Boshoff's fusion of figurative realism and surreal symbolism creates a layered narrative of vulnerability, resilience, and the quiet aftermath of emotional upheaval. This painting invites viewers to reflect on the spaces between connection and isolation, chaos and calm."

About Mark

I'm inspired by the play of light - how it reveals emotion in landscapes, figures, and fleeting moments. My work blends realism with symbolism, using layered brushwork, glazes, and mark-making to explore themes of solitude, transformation, and connection. I draw from history, mythology, and personal experience to create visual narratives that resonate across time and culture.

Whether painting a storm-lit tree, a mythic embrace, or a dancer caught mid-leap, I aim to evoke feeling and reflection. My art is a declaration of what moves me--and an invitation for others to find meaning in the tension between beauty and vulnerability.

As an artist based in South Africa, I'm inspired by the richness of our landscapes and the complexity of our stories. I approach each canvas with both sensitivity and intent, aiming to create work that resonates across cultures and contexts. My goal is to connect - to offer viewers a moment of reflection, recognition, or emotional clarity.

Art, for me, is not decoration -- it's declaration. It's a way of saying: "This mattered. This moved me. This might move you too."
