About "Amajongosi"

Amajongosi , young Bull , young warrior , a male full of hormones and attitude , ancient warriors of Africa , this young bull let me know who he was , as I got close to him on an Island in The Zambezi river . His skin flecked with the oranges and browns of the coming sunset combined with the sands of this great valley his attitude was typical- head up and tail extended as he quietly turned away to initially increase distance between us .
From here he pulled a young tree out of the ground , to show his strength , and again turned away from me in a sign of almost contempt , he moved quietly off , hardly a sound came from his great weight as he moved into the reeds.
The whole experience as always left me humble and yet electric at the sheer magnificence of Africa .

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.
