Zoë Els Tsomondo My creative drive comes from the punches life is throwing at all of us. I can not create beauty without pain: The two goes hand in hand like new lovers never leaving each others side. When the viewer looks at my art, I believe in leaving the gap for own interpretation. The viewer now may experience and tell their version of the story. Diversity in mediums and techniques are something that sets my art apart. Watercolor is a personal favorite although it does not define all my work. Each piece I create I hope to provoke questions and memories to give hope in overcoming difficulty. In the creation process I seek to express their life journey of pain into beauty. Music plays a very big roll in the creation process as it sets a stage for my performance.
