“The painting Spiritual Giant is a project that started year ago and completed in 2022. It is one of my art pieces that have transformed over time. It is the big tree of Zimbabwe, the Baobab. In some areas it is regarded spiritual. Animals and people alike also benefit in different ways from it. The hollowed ones can be shelter too. I find it magical and fascinating how we interact with our nature to build a sustainable relationship.In this piece I used acrylic and oil paint to express the lasting love that surrounds us. I have used colour and texture to interact with my imagination.”
