About "Wings of Stillness"

"Wings of Stillness" by Mark Boshoff is a delicate meditation on nature's quiet elegance. Centred around a dragonfly suspended in motion, the painting captures the intricate beauty of translucent wings and segmented form with remarkable precision. The lush green backdrop--rich with ferns and layered foliage--creates a sense of depth and immersion, while the interplay of light and shadow evokes a tranquil, almost sacred atmosphere. Mark's brushwork balances realism with painterly softness, inviting viewers to pause and appreciate the subtle wonders of the natural world. This piece is both a celebration of life's small details and a reminder of the serenity found in stillness."

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."
