David Struwig

I was born in 1967, in Pietermaritzburg, Natal, South Africa. After my education I studied hairdressing and opened my first salon in Cape Town. I decided to move to the U.K in 2005 and now live and work in Notting Hill. I paint as a hobby. I find it theraputic spending time alone and with my thaughts.As an artist, my inspiration comes from daily life. My favoured medium is acrylic and my style varies according to the inspiration. In some works it's about the colour and others, the texture. I love to have fun and believe that for every painting there is an owner - someone to whom the painting speaks!

I took art as a subject in school and as part of my hairdressing training. In South Africa, I had a few small exhibitions. My greatest success was an art auction I had before leaving S.A. where I sold 45 pieces in one night.,
