Artwork Description

In it I’ve captured a tranquil moment on our local beach. The focal point of the composition is Khwezi, a Bichon Frise, sitting on the breakwater rocks. The meticulous details of Khwezi’s brilliant, curly white coat create a striking contrast against the backdrop of a brilliant blue sky and a dynamic mesmerizing ocean. The breaking waves gently caress the sandy beach, adding a rhythmic and soothing element to the overall composition. While the subtle play of shadows on the rocks enhance the realism and depth of the seascape. Khwezi’s gaze invites curiosity and contemplation, conveying his personality and connection with the viewer.

Artist Bio

My True Love.
Generally my style of art is Representational – realistic stuff, anything that has a strong recognisable subject. Sometimes however I abandon my fine art lured by my previous life as a graphic designer and momentarily I'm overcome and revert to the use of minimalist shapes, images and bright colours.
Being an impatient individual, I prefer to work with acrylics rather than other mediums because of their quick drying time. This allows me the flexibility to make mistakes, knowing that I'm able to quickly correct and paint over them.
As an artist I usually I start with a pencil sketch in my painting diary. I don't necessarily paint it straight away, but often visit the diary as inspiration for future work. My true love is the challenge of capturing the the things and sights that have inspired me on my travels around and about.
