About The Artwork
"The March - an African Odyssey" is an original figurative oil painting that serves as a powerful allegory of the African experience shaped by centuries of imperialistic domination. Through a fusion of realism and expressionism, the artwork brings to life the collective struggle and profound sense of hopelessness endured by generations of Africans. The inspiration for this work draws from a deep sense of historical awareness and a desire to shed light on the enduring impact of imperialism on the African continent. The painting encapsulates the resilience of African people in the face of systemic oppression and the enduring spirit that has carried them through generations. I hope to elicit a profound emotional response from viewers. The realistic portrayal and expressionistic elements combine to convey the weight of history and the intensity of the African experience. Mannerisms that emphasize hopelessness, fear, restraint, despair, desperation, resignation, anger, disorientation, anguish, and struggle are designed to evoke empathy, understanding, and reflection among viewers. It's an invitation to reckon with the legacy of imperialism, recognize the strength of the African spirit, and foster a deeper appreciation for the complex narratives of African history. In essence, this painting acts as a visual narrative that serves as a call to engage with the complexities of history and the need for a more equitable and inclusive future.

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. My work is represented internationally by Saatchi Art, by Artoui & Artmo galleries in Germany, and by Occhi Contemporary Art in London & New York,
