“Still” presents an arresting, high-contrast view of an African black beetle rendered in rich charcoal on stark white canvas.

About the Artist

Francois Watson

South Africa

I try choose titles for my pieces that serve as a question or an observation, adding another layer of depth — whether they probe for understanding or proclaim a bold statement.

When I create art, I always find myself balancing between seeking and stating. Am I asking or telling? Does this bold splash of colour probe or proclaim? Sometimes, I want my work to invite curiosity, while other times, I want it to confidently assert itself. I love how a single piece can wonder or declare, leaving the viewer to decide if it’s an open-ended exploration or a final word. In the end, I don’t think meaning should ever be set in stone, whether I’m questioning or confirming, the magic is in the interpretation.

In the art world, I often notice a tendency to justify a piece through elaborate explanations, but I believe art should speak for itself — whether it’s asking or telling, probing or proclaiming; the real magic lies in how it’s perceived. Sometimes, it’s simply about appreciating its visual impact without deeper meaning.
