♥ Featured Artist: Nadia Estelwen Viljoen ♥ 
Captivating your attention with surreal juxtaposed imagery and bright colours, the viewer becomes lost in a visual representation of her inner landscape. Nadia Estelwen Viljoen graduated in Fine Art at Ruth Prowse School of Art in 2014 where she started exploring with different mediums. Her inspiration to use popular culture imagery comes from her middle class upbringing that has been bombarded by a cliche´-ridden society. She uses iconic subject matters, to provoke reminiscence. Nadia explore mediums eg. spray paint, acrylic paint and resin to add to the mass produced feel combining it with traditional techniques in oil paints. She draws a lot of inspiration from old masters like Joan Miro, Marc Chagall, Charles Bel and John Singer Sargent. The contrast she creates in her work is one that reflects the internal battle she experiences between the pressure to create commercial images and the need for unique expressive creation.
