About "Alter-ego"

The standard convention would be to view this beautiful flower from the front…with the expectation or belief that the flower is most beautiful viewed from the side we normally do. However – this painting portrays the opposite to be true…that the flower is AS beautiful from the ALTERnative side.
The same theory could also be transposed into humans…
The alter-ego (the hidden characteristics) are often AS beautiful as the known – if only we would break from tradition and look at people from all sides.

About Heine

Heine, a self-taught artist, discovered his latent talent at the age of 46 (2008) while he was "playing" with a minute canvas and some student-acrylic paints. Embracing this wonderful new gift, he promptly moved on to larger and more complexed work. Heine honed his technique and skills when he joined an amateur-artists group in Cape Town, tutored by a professional art teacher. This quickly culminated in the sale of his first painting at his very first group art-exhibition. Since then his work has been selling to overseas and local art collectors.

One additional medium Heine uses to express his creativity, is with the Japanese art of Bonsai. By sculpting these miniatures and at times very old trees, he focuses more on the art of form and perspective to create balance; rather than just concentrating on the horticultural aspect of the trees.

Heine is based in the Jewel of the Overberg, Greyton, where he lives with his partner and their 3 Maine Coon cats. He recently started presenting an art class in Greyton (on request of a few people). Here the group of amateur artists focus on developing drawing skills and acrylic painting techniques.
