About "Madiba"

I painted Nelson Mandela a.k.a Madiba because to me he epitomizes peace. He dreamed of an Africa which is in Peace with itself and he was an inspiration not only to South Africans but to people all around the world! He knew that if he didn't leave his bitterness and haterd behind him as he walked out of his prison door towards freedom, he would have still been in prison.
"Courageous people do not fear forgiving for the sake of peace." Nelson Mandela.

About Juliet

Painting is my rush. It whisks me away to a place full of unlimited potential and beauty. I'm unabashedly addicted to beauty and I'm humbly grateful that I've been gifted with a talent to be able to create it through art.

I aim through my paintings to not only capture energy but magnify it, weather that be the powerful energy of a breaking wave or a place of peaceful serenity. Even with my portraits my goal is to capture a certain aura of that person. My subject matter is diverse. It's my method and technique that gives my oil paintings my signature style. This totally works for me as I would hate to be limited and categorised by what I paint as I see beauty in almost everything!

My paintings, if critically dissected, are mostly made up of almost crude asymmetrical shapes done in block colours. Through these shapes I'm able to achieve a sense of depth and movement, shadow and light which then translate into a fluidity leading to detail and the 'big picture'.

My inspiration is life all around me and I particularly like to paint people in an outdoor, natural environment. A condition I have, synaesthesia, also plays a fundamental role in my artistic endeavours.

The artists I admire the most are Edvard Munch, Marc Chagall and Esther Pearl Watson.
