Lize van der Walt
Painter
Lize’s painting have a defined signature and the viewer will recognise her distinct style. Her inspiration is derived from her immediate surroundings and emotional journey. The subject matter might be real and existing i.e ‘Grotto Beach’ but the viewer will almost always find himself on a journey. The light draws you into the scene bringing forth the viewers own spiritual ending. Lize specialises in semi-abstract, and semi-realistic, seascape and landscape paintings. Recently her paints have become more expressionistic, with rich texture, multiple layers, poured paint and brush and palette knife marks. Her approach is to draw people in and invite them to experience emotional and spiritual feelings of the soul, not just the image itself.
