About "Mana Epic"
Mana Pools, the epic part of the Zambezi floodplain looking at Zambia from Zim. The wonder of the wild
I have followed my passion for the wilderness and the feeling of immense freedom that comes with being out there, in a world that is torn apart by media and just simply "noise", it is hard to focus on reality. Part of the great attraction for me has been the ability to go deep within oneself when out here, the humbling effect of the wild is essential to our own wellbeing, it goes without saying that that the modern world is distracting us from reality, the earth is where we come from and where we go to, we have no more right to life than these beautiful places and their occupants! Out here silence is your friend and not the enemy like we are led to believe in this modern crazy world! A painting is more than a picture, there is a deep passion within a piece of art, and there doesn't need to be a message in there, all it needs to do is stop you momentarily to contemplate, something we are not good at doing anymore. My life has been about awareness of what we truly have, my own, my family's and yours! Join us in these places, walk in the sands of the dried rivers, feel the vibrancy of Africa, the "world's greatest wilderness" Take a journey through these paintings and become a part of this life we have around us, connect with your soul and take in the magnificence of the wilderness.

About Astley
Africa is not a subject I discovered -- it is the landscape I grew up
listening to.
My work centres on baobabs and other enduring trees of the Zimbabwean wilderness. These forms stand at a scale beyond the human. Marked by seasons, drought, fire and the passage of
elephants, they carry visible records of time.
I am drawn to their presence -- not as symbols, but as living structures that have witnessed generations before us and will likely remain long after. In their stillness there is a sense of
continuity that shifts one's perspective.
Painting allows me to slow that encounter. It invites silence. My intention is to create work that encourages a deeper breath -- a moment in which the viewer feels both small and quietly connected to something older and enduring.
Each piece is grounded in lived experience of the Zimbabwean bush, where endurance is not metaphor but reality.
