About "Leap of Faith"

I love to explore the unexpected.This is a scenario that would hardly happen in real life - who expects a pig to leap off a diving board into a suburban pool?
It also represents diving into the deep end of life, in other words just trusting your instinct and going for it - knowing all will be well in the end. The pig jumps off eagerly - he is not afraid. This work is related to an earlier work called "Piggy Dreams".

About Karen

Karen Steffano

There is sometimes a quirky sense of humour to my work, I like creating scenarios you would not see in real life that let you wonder about them. I like to show there is beauty in the mundane and the everyday. I am more likely to portray a humble pig than a proud lion, a simple rock rather than a grand vista. Every painting has a story and has meant something to me.

My family and I immigrated to South Africa from the UK in the 70[0x1]s, where we have lived ever since. I love South Africa and I love living here and I can[0x1]t imagine living anywhere else. Growing up here, art became my favourite subject at school, I won the art prize one year and I dreamed of becoming a famous artist.
I went on to study Fine Art at Wits University, majoring in Painting. After graduation, I left the art world and pursued a different career. Later my interest and desire to create art grew until I try to paint every single day.
