About Adele

Adele Bantjes

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

In kindergarten my friends complained to the teacher that I did not want to play with them but rather play with clay! The only thing that has changed is the medium I work in…

I am a self taught/naïve artist. I do a low relief in paper onto canvas, and paint it in acrylics. Sometimes I add sand, tealeaves to the paint for some texture. My art takes a lot of time to make. Some of the large ones take up to a month and the smaller ones one to two weeks! It is hard work but very satisfying. I love to combine the sculptor and painter in me!

South Africa has so many cultures coming together, there will always be something inspiring…

All the characters in my art is happy and smiling in a make believe place that I escape to. I hope you are left with a smile on your face after looking at my art, and welcome to my world…
