About The Artwork

We live at a time where honorability and truth seem to depend on persons and their momentary feelings and not on an absolute. We can debate the absolute...but is it not written in our hearts? Is the way we desire to be treated not a reflection of a greater truth? "For nothing is hidden, except to be revealed; nor has anything been secret, but that it would come to light." The Yellow and Gold and Amber speaks about Endurance. The ability to endure an unpleasant or difficult process or situation without giving way. The ability to resist, withstand, recover from, and have immunity to trauma or fatigue. The rich Turquoise Blues and warm Purple are symbolic of a royal priesthood, of the smell of incense being lifted up to heaven as a symbol of prayer. Blue is the third primary colour. It spiritually signifies the Healing Power of God. The very fact that the Sky is blue stands for the presence of God, available to us by looking up or drinking the life-giving water. Every painting, whether realistic or abstract, is uniquely destined for the viewer who will recognize the message as his or her own. Each picture is a little glimpse of heaven, a moment in which the Creator speaks a personal and very intimate message to His Chosen Created. Leonie's current body of work focuses on contemporary landscapes in Encaustic and mixed media, using thick impasto paint with lots of texture and colour. She describes the process of painting as, 'passionate, expressive, urgent, often using palette knives to scrape and make marks into the paint. Encaustic painting, also known as hot wax painting, involves using heated beeswax to which colored pigments are added. Metal tools and special brushes can be used to shape the paint before it cools, or heated metal tools can be used to manipulate the wax once it has cooled onto the surface. She is also a multiple award winner and has taken part and either been placed or won some of the most prestigious awards for Fine Art in South Africa

I am an artist who believes in conveying emotions through bold and vibrant colours, using gestural motions and large brushes to engage with the canvas physically. My spontaneous and intuitive approach involves multiple layers, impasto techniques, and experimentation with various materials like charcoal and inks. Influenced by artists such as Karel Appel, Willem de Kooning, and Mark Rothko, my work embraces improvisation, emphasising the therapeutic power of art to convey joy and vitality. The core principles of expressiveness, spontaneity, and vibrant colours remain constant throughout my evolving techniques. My abstract creations are windows into a world of hope, joy, and life, serving as beacons of optimism in a world often filled with negativity and despair. They invite viewers to embrace life, find happiness in every moment, and smile in the face of adversity. Constant experimentation and evolution define my approach, and like Karel Appel, I believe in the therapeutic power of art, aiming to convey joy and vitality through my work.
