About "Naive Art - Italian POW Cross"

The inspiration behind my latest theme "Tifozi Italiano" derives out of my love for history, the great Italian maestros, their food & wine, ballet & opera & the mostly unrecognized & unappreciated impact Italian POWs had on my country."Cross on Du Toits Kloof Pass" is dedicated to those POWs responsible for its construction & the deep bonds of brotherhood, mutual respect, admiration & gratitude that were forged during their stay. The other elements, bread & cheese, grapes & wine, olives & buildings all signify the huge impact Italians have had on South African society.

About De Swift

Face your fears!...Live your dreams!...Be true to yourself!
Easy to say!...not so easy to do! I had to "Breakout"...the difficult & extremely painful decisions were necessary in order for me to regain my authentic self!..But oh!..at what a price!!I'm just sorry I hesitated for so long!Now I enjoy braking down walls & I can't to experience the road ahead with all its ups & downs, twists & turns but always exiting, fulfilling & uplifting. No time now live in the "Comfort Zone" & survive by being a "conflict avoider" & "please disease" baby! Often my brush seems to develope a life of its very own & the results are always amazingly different to what I had originally planned! Colours are always bright; images vibrant & bold; not often subtle & never timid!..always "Fearless!" Something of my "life force" is uniquely present in every one of my works - whether it be ceramics, 3D mosaics, sculpture or jewelery & I'm happy to share this with the world!

Update!!...I have recently had all my works appraised by South Africa's foremost Art Auctioneer / Appraiser who stated that my work "...definitely holds good investment potential"!!!.. Please enjoy!!
