These quaint farm workers' cottages whisper tales of resilience and simpler times, inviting you to envision tranquil evenings spent on the stoep, listening to nature's symphony and basking in the warmth of communal bonds.

Embrace a piece of South African history with this artwork, offering a poignant glimpse into the lives of farm workers, integral to the nation's agricultural heritage. Display it proudly in your home, igniting conversations about the rich tapestry of South Africa's history and culture.

More than a mere painting, it serves as a portal to a simpler existence—a poignant reminder of the significance of community, resilience, and the intrinsic beauty of the natural world.

Bold and vibrant, imbued with captivating hues, Willie Strydom's paintings eloquently showcase his expressive prowess, depicting the grandeur of the Boland Winelands, the rugged charm of the Klein Karoo mountains, the idyllic vineyards, and coastal vistas, as well as his admiration for the eclectic architecture of the Cape Malay Bo Kaap and the historic District Six. His colorful interpretations of life have found a cherished place in galleries and private collections throughout South Africa and beyond.


About Artist

Born in Johannesburg in 1951, Willie Strydom loved art and painting from an early age. He would draw, sketch, and paint scenes from his life at primary school. He was convinced his art teacher didn't like him much. "I think it was because I was better than him. I always showed his mistakes to him, and he didn't appreciate that."

He studied Fine Art at the Pretoria Technikon but only started thinking of himself as an artist in his mid-40s after moving to the sub-tropical South Coast of KwaZulu-Natal. "After tech, I went to the army, worked at a bank, for the municipality, for a friend doing technical drawings, and for years doing kitchen cupboard installations."

Since selling seven paintings at his first exhibition at Johannesburg's Zoo Lake in 2000, Strydom's colourful interpretations of South African life have found their way into art galleries and private art collections nationwide and abroad.

Although mainly known for his colourful, expressive landscape art portraying the Highveld and Boland regions, Strydom also loves to portray the haphazard architecture of older suburbs like Cape Town's brightly coloured Bo-Kaap. He is also renowned for his beautiful and colourful vineyard paintings. Strydom's work has travelled to Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the USA, Cyprus, the UK and many more.
