About "Knysna Big Foot"

South Africa is so rich in its wild life, as a Young boy I used to work for South African National Parks. We would track and trace the Knysna Elephant. I was lucky enough to had an opportunity to see it in front of my eyes.

Each time when I when I make a brush stroke while painting an Elephant , it makes me remember the opportunity I had to witness the Knysna Elephant in front of my eyes.

It's painted on hand made sea grass paper.

About Gashwin

As a Schoolboy Gashwin never had art as a subject , but he always had the tendency where he couldn't walk passed a painting without staring at it for hours. At Some stage in Gashwin's life he lost 9 family members at once on the same day ( The Oelf family that passed away in the Knysna fire 2018).

Life became so dark for Gashwin and it was then and there Gashwin got himself his 1st set of painting brushes. Gashwin met a well known Artist ( Sheila Cooper-Collins ) who was willing to took Gashwin from scratch hand by hand step by step with art classes.

He's art exploded and improved drastically, right there Gashwin knew that art has always been a part of him. Art helped him overcome a very dark period in his life where he lost the 9 close family members .

Til today Gashwin is still under the wings of Sheila Cooper-Collins where he goes to class each and every week.

He believes each and every brush stoke he makes , is dedicated to his family that he has lost in the Knysna fire.
