Lindé - Painting



Lindé received a diploma in fine arts at the Ruth Prowse Art College.
Following this, she worked in advertising, did freelancing in graphic design and photography and in the last 2 years, has re-kindled her old love for painting. Her chosen medium is oil on canvas. Amongst her preferred subjects to paint, are larger than life portraits of people and cityscapes. She has exhibited in Johannesburg, auctioned some of her paintings in London and has now returned to her favourite city to showcase her new work.

Her most recent work is an impressionistic and textural display of architectural beauty in Austria – in particular, a small town called Salzburg.  She travelled there 2 years ago and was captivated by the romantic and graceful atmosphere in this ancient cobbled town, saturated with boutiques, organic markets and bridges over the canal. Even though the city is draped in monotones, she has captured the energy underneath it all, with her vibrant and colourful paint applications.

Jeanie Hugo - Jewellery




Jeanie has recently completed her course in Jewellery Design and Manufacture at Stellenbosch University, where she learned to work with many different metals such as silver, white gold, yellow gold and platinum. It was at university where she discovered her love for graphic art, patterns, photography and colour and started experimenting with translating those into metal.

At present, she loves to combine her jewellery with stories of people, places and personal histories. Mostly, she uses found objects, writing and patterning in her pieces to create graphic, refined and colourful jewellery items that the wearer can treasure for its raw material value as much as for its unique story.

Natural Fashion - Tribal Inspiration from Africa


"The lower valley of the Omo, at the borders of Ethiopia, Kenya and Sudan, remains one of the wildest places in Africa. Over the course of numerous voyages to this forgotten land, Hans Silvester became fascinated by the beauty of the Surma and Mursi tribes, who share a taste for body painting and extravagant decorations borrowed from nature."

These are the enigmatic portrait faces I've abstracted from Silvester's photography to explore with my oil paint medium. I find them haunting, silently asking for an appeal that's up to the viewer to decide. Their dead stares draw emotion. This emotion captured on my life size canvasses through textural impressionism. From far the viewer is captivated by the image and then pulled closer for the inspection of intimate brush strokes that comes alive.

-Fueled by an insatiable curiosity and by a hunter's thirst for images, Mirella Ricciardi traversed the length and breath of the continent - from East Africa to the Sudan, from Zaire to the Atlantic, from Ethiopia to the slopes of Mount Kenya and the trenches of Eritrea. Her extraordinary life as photographer has certainly captivated me and inspired me to also explore the raw and original  beauty of those African faces she captured. -
