About Hannes

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

Hannes van der Walt was born in Springs in 1939. Since his early childhood days he has had a love for drawing and working in colour. During his high school days he took private art classes with Mr Frans Prins, a local teacher and artist, who introduced him to the basics of oil painting. After his Matric year he took art classes with the famous artist Brian Nash. Here a delicate awareness for keener observation and study of detail was awakened in him. At the age of 24 Hannes had his first solo exhibition in the Springs library hall.

Hannes retired in 1997 to apply himself full time to painting. Hannes is an artist, who loves the scenery around Stellenbosch and the Boland. He is inspired by the rich colours during flowering season in Namaqualand, the wide open spaces of the Karroo and the interesting coast line of the Western and Southern Cape.

Hannes’s paintings appeal to each person’s inner appreciation for the beauty of nature, but also calls to mind the inconceivable wonder of God’s creation. His work can be found in various local galleries and in many private collections in South Africa, Australia, America, Britain, The Netherlands, Belgium, Canada, Germany, France, New Zealand and South Korea.
