ISABELLE du Toit (ROUAUD)

"My meticulous depictions of mostly solitary animals asks the viewer to consider the plight of nature in the face of man's encroachment. With my detailed paint handling, combined with an astute attention to the nuances of chiaroscuro, I hope to create a look and feel that is unique and bring some kind of order and calm to reflect on what is really important and meaningful in life. For me, realism and simplicity have a direct link to truth and honesty."
