About "Naive Art - Italian POW Cross"

The inspiration behind my latest theme "Tifozi Italiano" derives out of my love for history, the great Italian maestros, their food & wine, ballet & opera & the mostly unrecognized & unappreciated impact Italian POWs had on my country."Cross on Du Toits Kloof Pass" is dedicated to those POWs responsible for its construction & the deep bonds of brotherhood, mutual respect, admiration & gratitude that were forged during their stay. The other elements, bread & cheese, grapes & wine, olives & buildings all signify the huge impact Italians have had on South African society.

Face your fears!...Live your dreams!...Be true to yourself!
Easy to say!...not so easy to do! I had to "Breakout"...the difficult & extremely painful decisions were necessary in order for me to regain my authentic self!..But oh!..at what a price!!I'm just sorry I hesitated for so long!Now I enjoy braking down walls & I can't to experience the road ahead with all its ups & downs, twists & turns but always exiting, fulfilling & uplifting. No time now live in the "Comfort Zone" & survive by being a "conflict avoider" & "please disease" baby! Often my brush seems to develope a life of its very own & the results are always amazingly different to what I had originally planned! Colours are always bright; images vibrant & bold; not often subtle & never timid!..always "Fearless!" Something of my "life force" is uniquely present in every one of my works - whether it be ceramics, 3D mosaics, sculpture or jewelery & I'm happy to share this with the world!

Update!!...I have recently had all my works appraised by South Africa's foremost Art Auctioneer / Appraiser who stated that my work "...definitely holds good investment potential"!!!.. Please enjoy!!
