About Titia

Titia is an Artist with SouthAfricanArtists.com based in South Africa.

I use history and the varied cultural heritage of South Africa
as sources for images depicting life on a cultural boundary. My work is essentially a search for identity in a fast evolving country: questions about my past( descendant of French Huguenots) are coupled with questions about the future in a country where the Westernization of its original peoples and the
Africanisation of European immigrants and colonists have been taking place for the past 300 - 400 years.

US$151-532
