About "Tethered Silennce"

"Tethered Silence" by Mark Boshoff is a poetic meditation on solitude and stillness. A lone wooden rowboat floats gently on a calm lake, its reflection mirrored with quiet precision in the water below. The chain tether hints at anchoring--both literal and emotional--while the soft hills and clouded sky in the background evoke a sense of timeless peace. Boshoff's brushwork is subtle yet expressive, blending realism with lyrical atmosphere. The painting invites viewers to pause and reflect, offering a moment of calm in a world often in motion. It's a visual whisper--an ode to quiet places and the stories they hold."

About Mark

I'm inspired by the play of light - how it reveals emotion in landscapes, figures, and fleeting moments. My work blends realism with symbolism, using layered brushwork, glazes, and mark-making to explore themes of solitude, transformation, and connection. I draw from history, mythology, and personal experience to create visual narratives that resonate across time and culture.

Whether painting a storm-lit tree, a mythic embrace, or a dancer caught mid-leap, I aim to evoke feeling and reflection. My art is a declaration of what moves me--and an invitation for others to find meaning in the tension between beauty and vulnerability.

As an artist based in South Africa, I'm inspired by the richness of our landscapes and the complexity of our stories. I approach each canvas with both sensitivity and intent, aiming to create work that resonates across cultures and contexts. My goal is to connect - to offer viewers a moment of reflection, recognition, or emotional clarity.

Art, for me, is not decoration -- it's declaration. It's a way of saying: "This mattered. This moved me. This might move you too."
