Interests and Personality
| Biography | My art is a tribute, I hope, to the people we’ve met on our travels in Africa. People who have experienced bloody civil war, yet smile with a warmth that reaches the very heart of you. People who have lived under oppressive regimes, yet sing in soaring harmony. Those whose families have been desecrated during onslaughts of horrifying genocide, yet still reach out with love and forgiveness. Children whose eyes light up when given a pencil to take to their little school under the sparse shade of an acacia tree…
That is why I paint. For me, it is a celebration of life and through my art I endeavour in some small way to encapsulate the essence, the spirit and the strength of the exceptional people I have been so very privileged to meet. |
| Interests | Many and varied. Chief amongst them travel, art, photography, books and more books. |
| Music | Jazz, Rhythm and Blues, Classical (especially Vivaldi..he is the wind beneath my wings so to speak), Rock, all the music and sounds of Africa, some Rap, some Funk... |
| Films | Pulp Fiction, Paris Texas, The Comfort of Strangers, Bagdad Cafe, Beetlejuice, Death in Venice, Tsotsi, Mulholland Drive, Hotel Rwanda, American Beauty, LA Stories, Rabbit Proof Fence, A Beautiful Mind, Dead Poet's Society, Benny & Joon... |
| Television | Ugh, mostly! |
| Books | I devour books, so too many to mention. Some of my favourite authors include Rian Malan, Andre Brink, JM Coetzee, Justin Cartwright, TC Doyle, Tim Winton, John Updike, William Styron, Philip Roth, Philip Zeigler, Peter Matthiessen, Elizabeth Jane Howard, William Boyd, Paul Theroux....and on and on... |
| Heroes | Nelson Mandela, of course. Admiral Lord Cochrane (as a seafaring soldier of fortune, he makes Nelson pale into insignificance!), Beryl Markham, Yoweri Museveni, Saba Douglas-Hamilton |

Your colorful depiction of people just being themselves lifts their images from the mundane to the sublime. Best regards, Robbie.
