About "Bochaba ba Mosotho ke kobo 1"

Against a ruggedly beautiful landscape, everywhere in Lesotho you will see women (and men) wearing the Basotho blanket. The title means "the blanket that binds the nation." Traditionally, most of the agricultural work is done by women which I have depicted in 4 pictures using vibrant oil colours and the impasto technique.

About Sandi

I have always had artistic talent and have an absolute obsession to paint. I believe that obsession is more important than talent - it's that special ingredient that shows in the work. I also believe that artists should paint only subjects that they love - otherwise, what's the point?

Born and raised in Zimbabwe, I feel a deep connection to the African landscape and to its people. These are the base of my art. I have reached a point in my painting where I feel comfortable with my post impressionistic style using vivid colours, thick application of paint and distinctive brush and pallet knife strokes.

My paintings are each a story and most often, are created from memory. The landscapes become a backdrop for human interaction pushing the composition aim to reflect on everyday life in Africa.

My work is held in many private collections in Zimbabwe, South Africa, Holland, Ireland, Sweden, Australia, New Zealand, China and Japan. and Holland.
