Indian Lady

Multimedia, 120x120cm. SOLD
This is one of my favourite works I used almost anything from old numberplates to used brushes. It has a Christian theme. Underneath layers of paint there is writing and words from the Bible mostly about GOD'S view of us and how much he loves us independent of who we are or where we came from.

Hi Liesel, I love your colors and the concept to paint on something which has already a (posive) message...the so "uploaded" energy is to be sensed, even when one not knows anything about the "background"....Good work!

I love this..I love the drapery and colors..I'm wondering if you used a flash on this because to me it looks as if certain parts are almost devoid of color...

4 months

Liesel Botma

Yes, unfortunately. It was too dark and blurry without the flash, but luckily I have a tripod now so I can take far better photos. But taking good photos of artworks is a skill on its own.

Artist Statement
for Liesel Botma

South Africa

There is so many things in life that can inspire us - most of your artworks makes me wish I had more time to paint. Any commentary is more than welcome - even if you don't like my work.

I am proudly South African and a white Afrikaner boermeisie - even though our past my not always be so rosycoloured - I know that God makes all things new and his plans is greater, magical above anything we can imagine. I believe things can change if we all unite and put an effort in it. Love you all, happy painting
