Andrew Keltar Studios

Forged in South Africa, tempered in Scotland.

Growing up in South Africa I learned to embrace the spirit of Ubuntu; the spirit of the people.

It has given me a deep respect and appreciation for wildlife, culture and diversity.

I'm inspired by life, the colours of nature, the tactility of texture and the warmth of skin.

I use oil paints to create visceral pieces on plain and wooden canvas aiming to achieve a sense of tangibility so that they resonate with reality.
