About "Kuterera"
Kuterera !
Something is happening !
As the sun sighs fatigue over the Zambezi valley, the light strokes the trees with soft warm glows that is so characteristic of our Africa .
This Pan like so many others in The Great Zambezi valley has become the meeting place for many . The edges scattered with elephant dung and great foot prints in the mud , that sometimes last for years after they have dried , like signatures on a board - these are the signs of those who have been there before .
There is an inescapable peace that comes over us- a feeling of calm when in a place like this , its life -its real - its peaceful and yet there is always something about to happen ,-always that apprehension ,that excitement of what we may see , what may happen !
Imagine yourself sitting there in the quiet evening light , in the typical warmth of the sun ,quietly observing the comings and goings , where the scents of damp Mopane soil , dung and the vegetation mingle with the sounds of Africa ,creating an ambiance that remains with you forever !

About Astley
Africa is not a subject I discovered -- it is the landscape I grew up
listening to.
My work centres on baobabs and other enduring trees of the
Zimbabwean wilderness. These forms stand at a scale beyond the
human. Marked by seasons, drought, fire and the passage of
elephants, they carry visible records of time.
I am drawn to their presence -- not as symbols, but as living
structures that have witnessed generations before us and will
likely remain long after. In their stillness there is a sense of
continuity that shifts one's perspective.
Painting allows me to slow that encounter. It invites silence. My
intention is to create work that encourages a deeper breath -- a
moment in which the viewer feels both small and quietly
connected to something older and enduring.
Each piece is grounded in lived experience of the Zimbabwean
bush, where endurance is not metaphor but reality.
