In 2009 I donated the painting "An African Dream" to the president of FIFA, Mr Sepp Blatter. As a South African artist my intention was to thank FIFA and Mr. Blatter for making a dream possible to so many South Africans. Not only does the 2010 World Cup bring hope to aspiring football players but it spills over to every person in South Africa who dreams of competing on the international stage. It gives us that additional confidence to keep aspiring to greater goals, it keeps our hopes alive. The painting illustrates an African Man dreaming of success, he is moving across the history and tradition of his people onto greater things. His eye is set on his goal and victory. The trophy is yet but a vision in his mind but it's only a matter of time until he succeeds. The Dream is alive!!!!! On 24 June 2009 I presented the gift to Mr. Blatter at the Michelangelo Towers in Sandton, where he stayed during his time in South Africa. An enthusiastic audience of FIFA representatives were present. It was a truly moving moment when I witnessed how touched Mr Blatter was by this image. He instantaneously grasped my message and announced that the painting will find a special place in his home. It once again shows the power of an image to share a vision.

My work is a celebration of life and the power of the universe. I have grown to express a feeling or mood rather than a realistic representation of the world we live in. We have such a strong connection with the universe but it is often masked by our strive for existence and survival. I expect my audience, when they see my work, to be triggered by something they know so well but have neglected to acknowledge for some time. To awaken in them a feeling or memory that will strengthen their connection with the earth and their reason for living. "Celebrate This World"
