Jonel Scholtz. (left) Sunday Afternoon, (right) Sun through the leaves. My paintings come from a simple life as a mother and wife and develop into all the complicated aspects that make up a soul.
I believe that the canvas does not lie and will be true to what you are and to the making of the true artist. My interiors create domestic scenes in hues conveying intensely subjective and evocative spaces.
My figurative work depicts the fragility and femininity of the female form. Painting gives me solace, reason and energy. Together with the ones I love my life is an amazing complete experience. Cel: 0828538621 www.jonelscholtz.co.za
