About "Above the Cape "

This painting came about as I was feeling nostalgic having left Cape Town for the Eastern Cape. What is evident from this painting is that it is centred around the people , not just the pre-1850 architecture , which undoubtedly makes for a visual feast. For me it is the humble , warm , diverse and generous community of Bo -Kaap that leaves the biggest mark .

About Glodina

Artist Biography - Glodina heralds from Athlone, Cape Town. Her love for art was prevalent as a child She spent hours sketching dresses or copying the framed pictures of horses and a ship anchored in Hout Bay at her grandma's house. However, being somewhat of a nerd she soon found her love for science and maths overshadowed the arts which became a form of escape in high school. However, the prospect of supporting her family on an artist's salary was unthinkable.

She bought her first painting kit whilst on a business trip to Germany. She was hooked not just on the painting process but also on the strategic planning behind it. Art can, like music, alter how people perceive the world and create beauty out of chaos.
