ABOUT THE ARTWORK

An original figurative oil painting that captures a compelling scene of working factory women. Through a blend of realism and expressionism, this artwork offers a poignant portrayal of their lives, reflecting the raw emotions and challenges they face. Muted tones dominate the canvas, casting a somber light on the subjects, conveying their feelings of hopelessness and struggle. The inspiration behind this work arises from a desire to shed light on the often-overlooked lives of working-class women and their experiences within industrial settings. It reflects a poignant exploration of their resilience and the hardships they endure while laboring in demanding environments. I aim to evoke a sense of empathy and understanding among viewers. "Factory" prompts viewers to reflect on societal dynamics, gender roles, and the realities of labor in industrial contexts and serves as a poignant reminder of the strength and resilience exhibited by these women in the face of adversity.

As a professional artist with over six decades of experience, my work is focused on wildlife, figurative portraiture, and landscapes. My work is realistic and representative in nature, and is not limited to any specific style or subject matter, and I often explore new techniques and ideas to keep my art fresh and exciting. I paint primarily in oils on linen canvas, and my studio is based in the vibrant city of Cape Town, South Africa. While my work covers a broad spectrum of subjects, wildlife has always been a focal point throughout my career, leaning now more to figurative portraiture. I strive to evoke emotions in my viewers and to connect them with their own life experiences through my art. My work is inspired by the old masters, drawing inspiration from the golden age of the Dutch Masters Rembrandt, Hals & Vermeer & from more contemporary artists like John Singer Sargent, Bo Bartlett, Andrew Wyeth, Odd Nerdrum, Vincent Desiderio, Cesar Santos and Antonio Lopez Garcia. My paintings are an investment in fine art. They have been featured in numerous exhibitions, and my collectors span the globe. If you're looking for captivating, thought-provoking, and emotional works of art, then look no further. Join me on my journey as a professional artist and let my paintings add beauty and inspiration to your life.
