The honour of love for the Universe as I found it. It is during the journey of souls when some say “I dreamed of Africa and need rites of passage on a strange blue rock, in the garden of wonder, the lost and the re-discovered.” 144 Spells of Autumn, The Snow Dance, and Electric Sunshine, and so on and so on. It’s all Memories make-believe. You need to have Dragon Courage for a voyage unknown. Learn from the wise owl’s quiet smile for who said the answer is loving a spotless mind. It’s pure adventure exploring the Invisible, almost like clear water rising as a hymn to Life. Greeks & Stranger things or so it seems. Be brave like Alexander the great or Zorba the Greek. Let’s report to Greco, FREEDOM of little Infamous, you proud flesh small wonder. Good Flight Behaviour is needed for miracle seeds blowing in the wind. Look for the Noble, It’s all about magic of whom we are only one, including Moon. When all is said and done, we will meet again. - A. Du Plessis.

I'm Albert Du Plessis (b. 1993), and my oil painting journey began in 2019. While it's only been a short time, I've been fortunate to witness my work finding a place in private collections aboard and "Son Kokon" being exhibited at the esteemed Rupert Museum in Stellenbosch as part of the Rust-en-Vrede Gallery - PORTRAIT AWARD 2021's top 100 finalists. Initially, I ventured into sound engineering, working on international productions, Kumba 2013 animation film and Katalekte by renowned South African Poët Breyten Breytenbach. However, my true passion for art soon emerged. My academic journey led to a Bachelor's degree in Arts (Film) in 2014-2017. I'm largely self-taught but my mentor, Cesar Santos, an acclaimed artist from Florence, Italy, whom I discovered on Youtube in 2018, taught me the foundations of the classical painting process. I draw inspiration from both classical masters and modern Artist circles. Additionally, I had the privilege of assisting South African sculptor Angus Taylor and his team at Dionysus Sculpture Works in 2019, an invaluable experience that enriched my artistic perspective. I strive to convey messages through feeling in my art, exploring the interplay between the visible and the invisible, the subjective and the objective. My work is a reflection of my deep appreciation for our diverse planet and the natural world, as I contemplate the complexities of existence in our modern, technology-driven era.
