On a challenge of S African Xhosa-witchdoctors, that I will never survive the wroth of their 'Abantu-bom-lambu', [underwater spirits] if I ever contact them! I said that anyone with a good heart of ethics and empathy will always be able to communicate with anyone, regardless of its evil content. Thus started the preparations for an oil painting on resin-saturated canvas, thirty feet below the ocean surface. This dramatic adventure created a sensation of news flashes all over Africa! BBC-television has video footage of it and many other media, news papers, magazines, radio etc., reported on the progress of the sensational first underwater-painting in Africa! on my unscathed return, The witchdoctors saved face by declaring me some sort of a DIETY from the netherworlds, for no human could ever dare do that and survive! What I hope to achieve with this art-adventure is to plant a seed in the minds of all my African friends, that eventually will break the powerful grip and manipulation some of the witchdoctors have on the vulnerable population. The whole painting, canvas and wood, is totally sealed with epoxy resin and the artwork is painted in oil. Could be framed.

NICO P L VOSLOO 21 Century Renaissance Man FINE ARTIST- SCULPTOR- ENGINEER- SEA CAPTAIN- INVENTOR- HUMANITARIAN When you think about the time art was thriving the most, who do you think of from the renaissance in Europe?..... Leonardo, Michelangelo, Galileo, Fibonacci, Copernicus, Raphael and other greats. In our current century there are those few artists versed in literature, fine art, science, mathematics as well as anatomy and [as a College Lecturer] all the fine art techniques. Like the Renaissance, they are inventing things well ahead of their time and with an aesthetic eye. We are fortunate to have one in the USA now, from his home country of South Africa. Truly creating for all people no matter what color, he is internationally famous for his fine art paintings of animals, Zulu dancers, and figuring out how to paint underwater with scuba diving gear to capture the underwater universe. BBC Television filmed it and he is also well known for something else. His 3D-Tactile paintings made into raised 3- Dimensional molds for the blind, so they can actually feel an animal, a place, a shape, or any object and even "read" a globe and understand their world better. His concern for others shows in his research into native plants, their medicinal uses as well as essential oils to increase good health. It was not always easy if you know about the African witchdoctors and how they spread superstition. They do have knowledge of remedies that can help cure illnesses but rarely share this.
