Notes
Velaphi Mzimba´s colourful paintings reflect the vibrancy and rapidly evolving environment of South Africa´s black townships. His paintings have an infectious optimism that warm all viewers. This richness of spirit combined with an extraordinary technical virtuosity has no doubt led to the success that he has experienced over the last few years.
"I aim to capture the spirit of each subject when I work. Magnified as they are, each of my subjects become a monument to vibrancy and rapidly evolving environment of South Africa."
