"... combining abstract and realistic elements seamlessly. These seemingly disparate art styles speak across the divide of my paintings; While the top half features a specific landscape I've visited, the bottom half is an abstract, two-dimensional representation that invites the viewer to contemplate its meaning… Is it a glimpse into the earth's depths, or purely abstract?⁣ ⁣ Colour plays a vital role in my work, as the landscapes of northern South Africa are characterized by vibrant hues, dramatic contrasts, and intense colour palettes. For me, colour is an essential means of communication, informing emotions and expanding on conceptual ideas.⁣" - Jaco Roux
