Samkelo Mangisa 30/05/1985 to 21/08/2010
Artist Statement:
I am an artist who is a living portrait, created by God. I continue to produce with joy; which is my mandate, given to me by God the creator.
Colours, brushes & paints are merely my tools to produce what I feel, think, see & touch. I have “powerful weapons” in life that will help me to be a mere example of the creator, in this world.
My brain, eyes, hands & heart are my most important commodity which I use to develop my work. I empathize with those who really lack joy in their life. I have too been one who has been lacking.
I never received the joy & peace in my own life that I desired. I then started painting still-life’s, to create joy for myself. Working on a still-life helps me to experience this joy in my own life & I long to pass it on to others in the world within my nation, allowing my paintings to bring this needed joy!
