About Guillaume

I was born and still live in Port Elizabeth and had a passion for art since I was about 4 years old. I have been drawing and painting for as long as I can remember. I've been absent from the art scene for a number of years but started painting again in 2008. I am inspired by people and nature. I love colour and the effect that light has on objects and people. I believe that as an artist one must use one's talent to make a positive contribution to society in any way possible, be it by being involved in charity events or by making people aware of what is happening around them. I am a realist that try to capture the impression or feeling the subject matter gives me. I have however recently started doing more abstract work which many years ago I saw as a challenge but now, I find it easier and I enjoy how it makes it so much easier to express myself.
I have experience working in the following mediums: Oils, acrylics, pencil, pen and ink, chalk and oil pastel, lino cuts, batik, silkscreening and charcoal. I have done a few commissions ranging from pencil portraits, to oil on canvas works, to large murals. I also design logos and posters and have recently designed a sticker for the international wetlands week for Birdlife Eastern Cape.
