"Van goeters en dinge" Painting

Michael Heyns is a unique and unusual South African artist. He was born in 1942 in Pretoria and since he was a child, art was one of his passions. He was particularly influenced by poems he studied and illustrated at primary school, which made a lasting impression on him. No doubt it was here that he became aware of the evocative power of the artist's brush. His creative ability and insight enabled him to capture moods and convey these visually. Michael's artistry was nurtured at the art school of the Pretoria Technical College, where he attended the practical classes of the University of Pretoria's Fine Arts degree. At this stage music also began to play an important role in his life and has since remained part of his inspiration. The "musical themes" of his abstract compositions capture rhythm and sound waves. Michael's distinctive paint application, sometimes wet layers on dry paint, pale colours on a dark background and subtle shades of colour have become distinguishing features of his work. Accents of colour, such as bright cycad pods, red poppies and indigo colours have always been crescent. “My world is my. Here I am at peace. Here I find enough to relate visually and say: look, this is my world, here I can be in awe, I can experience - yes, I simply am” –Michael Heyns
