Today is a special day for me, I want to share with you my thoughts in a form of a brush and water color. I sometimes in my peculiar moments have my drawings derive from thoughts to happenings.
This is my second painting in Germany. I was coming from South Africa after seeing the remains of my lovely woman who gave birth to me, and the worse thing I ever experience in my country. When people say they are afraid of hijacking stories, I was the victim of crime on the eve of my mom's funeral. The fact that my wife was there with me killed me.
When I took a time to paint I hated my country and wanted to heal myself and wipe the image of of that spaghetti junction in Durban where this happened. From deep inside of me darkness was trying to emerge but life that was given to us prevailed and overpowered all that. Forgiveness helped me a lot and brought the bright colors.
