"My art focus and interest were stimulated throughout my school years, especially due to my reading of graphic novels and comics, this has also awakened my imagination.
What drew my attention the most was the artist's ability to draw expressions and movement of the charactors. Looking at these images was to me a visual feast, I would scan these graphics very carefully in order to redraw and paint these images, this again stimulated my imagination.
My influence are the renaissance time period and ancient art effects, I also admire the works of great artists such as da Vinci, Monet, Renoir, Andy Warhol and South African painter John Meyer, as well as Willie Bester.
My style of paint varies from expressionistic to realistic and surrealistic."
