Damian Osborne

Born in Cape Town, South Africa, in 1980, fine artist Damian Osborne grew up near the old Constantia Wine Estates which were established in the 1680’s.
He loved drawing and painting from an early age, particularly birds and animals, and spent a lot of time outdoors as a child. Feeling a deep connection with the place he grew up in, Damian enjoyed painting landscapes from around the area where he lived. The Constantia Valley is a very beautiful pocket behind Table Mountain, rich in heritage, flora and world-famous wines. His oil paintings are usually done en pleine aire. Nudes and figurative paintings are also usually done from life. Damian produces many charcoal, pen and graphite drawings. Still-life, birds and animals are also some of his favourite themes.
He is greatly inspired by a plethora of different artists from different periods. Damian thinks of his style as a kind of combination of Old Dutch landscape painting, with a bit of impressionistic dabbling.
His work has sold internationally through private sales and through select outlets.
