Radiance Rising Drawing

Cherini Fine Art (Cherine Pretorius) is a self-taught mixed media artist from Cape Town, South Africa, specializing in the fusion of abstract expressionism and portraiture. With a passion for storytelling through layered textures, bold compositions, and emotional depth, her work bridges the gap between realism and abstraction, capturing the unseen essence of human emotion. Creating since the age of 15, Cherini Fine Art explores the interplay between form and chaos, using acrylics, pastels, and unconventional materials to evoke movement and introspection. She is also a dedicated student of art techniques therapy through the Art Healing Academy, founded by Lorette Dye, further deepening her understanding of the transformative power of art. Rooted in the vibrant creative landscape of Cape Town, she continues to push boundaries in mixed media, inviting viewers into a space where faces emerge from abstraction, telling silent yet powerful stories.
