About "Surreal Blue Landscape"

who hasn't looked at clouds and seen fantasy animals gliding overhead or had a double take at the man-shaped rock watching from the mountain?
Using the tricks our eyes play on us I created a surreal seascape where swordfish clouds hunt cirrus Barracuda overhead as mountain-men prostrate themselves before the vast ocean. Rocks stare at themselves in the water becoming men whereas Narcissus turned into daffodils. Dainty ballerinas dance on the landscape stage amid the threatening but benign imagery.

About Mark

I'm inspired by the play of light - how it reveals emotion in landscapes, figures, and fleeting moments. My work blends realism with symbolism, using layered brushwork, glazes, and mark-making to explore themes of solitude, transformation, and connection. I draw from history, mythology, and personal experience to create visual narratives that resonate across time and culture.

Whether painting a storm-lit tree, a mythic embrace, or a dancer caught mid-leap, I aim to evoke feeling and reflection. My art is a declaration of what moves me--and an invitation for others to find meaning in the tension between beauty and vulnerability.

As an artist based in South Africa, I'm inspired by the richness of our landscapes and the complexity of our stories. I approach each canvas with both sensitivity and intent, aiming to create work that resonates across cultures and contexts. My goal is to connect - to offer viewers a moment of reflection, recognition, or emotional clarity.

Art, for me, is not decoration -- it's declaration. It's a way of saying: "This mattered. This moved me. This might move you too."
