About "The Red House"

This tranquil scene beside the road spoke to me of waking up, of being called to action.The house of red clay arises as if from the very soil of Africa.

About Wilna

My work is centred on the symbolical journey. I view the creative space as the space between psyche and reality, and the canvas as a living mirror with which I engage consciously in art to the best of my ability.

Amanda Botha in DeKat May 2016: "In Wilna van der Walt's work she gives expression to the inner consciousness of healing powers that find expression in the creative fervency. Here it has to do with the activation of the practice of art to stimulate the subconscious to find expression in an image and a striving for purification.

The exhibition, The old woman and the Moon, in the Irma Stern Museum in Rosebank, Cape Town, represents the symbolic journey of the artist, which takes her along uncharted paths within the Jungian context. She opens herself to tell her story on canvas within the rich chaos of inner perceptions.
Her palette becomes the medium and her canvas the reportage of her psychic journey, and the answer to her continuous inner dialogue. Like the writer Milan Kundera, she finds in her work 'the unbearable lightness', and she can turn her 'sunflowers' to the light like Vincent van Gogh. Each of these paintings has its own life - a part of the greater puzzle of truths that form part of a wider cosmic understanding."
