A New Start

This captivating landscape celebrates the rich beauty of South Africa’s winelands in the golden glow of late afternoon. Rows of sunlit vineyards sweep across the foreground, their vibrant amber and golden-yellow foliage contrasting beautifully with the deep earthy tones of the soil. Beyond the vineyards, majestic blue mountains rise beneath a luminous sky, while charming white farmhouses nestle peacefully within the valley.

The artist’s expressive brushwork and rich colours capture the warmth, abundance and timeless charm of the countryside. The interplay of sunlight and shadow creates remarkable depth, drawing the viewer into this idyllic rural setting.

Golden Harvest is an inviting statement piece for collectors who appreciate South African landscapes and the beauty of the winelands. Its vibrant palette and atmospheric composition bring warmth, sophistication, and a sense of tranquillity to any interior.

Nicole van Rooyen has no formal training in art, but she has a profound love for it. Her father was an architect and lecturer with a particular fondness for the Italian Renaissance, while her mother is an artist and art teacher whose passion for color has greatly influenced Nicole's life.

Throughout her school years, Nicole was always sketching—typically drawing her shoes, hands, or feet. She went on to win multiple art competitions during this time. Despite her talent, she never considered studying art, as it felt like such an integral part of her life already.

Instead, she chose to pursue her passion for dance and became a qualified ballet teacher. A few years later, she began designing greeting cards and has since supplied retail stores with her beautiful creations.

Recently, Nicole has dusted off her pencils and brushes to explore fine arts with renewed enthusiasm. She enjoys creating everything from large abstract paintings to detailed watercolors and sketches. Now, she feels content and is excited to continue her explorations into motherhood and beyond, all while seeking to answer the pivotal question of how to maximize joy in her 24 hours each day. 

Nicole lives in Cape Town with the man of her dreams and their beautiful daughter.
