South Africa meets Australia by Luna Nova in Brussels
South Africa meets Australia
This mural was commissioned for the Australian High Commission Residential property in Pretoria, South Africa. The brief was to connect & celebrate South African and Australian ecology though animal, plantlife and patriotic colour compositions. We used a combination of techniques to keep everything in proportion. It took us a full week to paint this very large wall. We used mostly acrylic paint with a little bit texture of spray paint.

I am a South African Multidisciplinary visual artist. I live a rather nomadic life. I am currently based in Europe, between Belgium, France and the Netherlands. My practice has many languages. I am a maker, a narrative creator, a teacher, a philosophical thinker, a decontextualizer of objects, one who draws, listens, performs, sculpts, paints, writes. My BA major was sculpture, sound, performance & installation. I have been freelancing as a muralist since 2004. I work as a curator, workshop facilitator, project manager and have participated in numerous group shows, both nationally and internationally. I am represented by Cape Town based agency SJ Artists and have been working as a co-curator and artist in residence at the Nirox Foundation since 2017. While many of my commissions based works exist in the corporate realm, I am shifting my focus to projects and workshops that are collaborative, community based or have a social impact attributes.
