Location: South Africa
I am an artist that started painting 17 years ago when i was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Because i went through a very tough time with blindness in the one eye, it was life changing. I started with an art course, but soon i was doing my own oil paintings. I had other relapse of the disease as well but my paintings started to uplift my soul and strangely enough my health.
I am very influenced by the old masters, Cezanne and Van gogh, but follow my own artistic freedom where colors talk to me. I am today so healthy that i sometimes cant believe that still have or even had ms. I can just say that my art did it for me!
I do commissions and could be reached at riananel@isat.co.za
