I have long been fascinated with man’s prehistoric cave paintings ever since my early days attending high school art classes.
Being exposed to the history of prehistoric cave art during that time, the question was always at the back of my mind. How did they connect with their subject matter during that period, with the daily struggle, just to stay alive?
Then to conceive and record their experiences in that period through their art must have been difficult indeed.
Painting on cave walls, with the barest minimum of colour powdered pigments available to them, they recorded life as they knew it, in the most primitive of all existences.
After extensive research, an idea to do a series of paintings, inspired by these early prehistoric cave paintings, connected with me.
I’m now setting about painting a body of work, which tries to understand the very essence of prehistoric cave life existence.
