Hey there! We have published an interesting interview that the Weslander newspaper had with Pienaar van Niekerk, professional artist and co-owner of the Sandpiper Art Gallery in Britannia Bay.

The press release discussed a number of points and is summarised below in English for you to read.

Pienaar shared his love for art and his creative journey. Pienaar has always dreamed of becoming a professional artist, driven by his passion for expressing meaningful messages through his artwork.

According to Pienaar, art plays a vital role in every culture, allowing artists to communicate and convey profound messages. He is constantly inspired and motivated to create art that not only captivates visually but also carries intellectual depth. Pienaar strives to combine superior technique with thoughtful messages in his work, always challenging himself to push boundaries.

One of Pienaar’s favourite artworks is “Visserskuite in stormagtige see” (“Fishing boats in a stormy sea”). This piece showcases his fascination with the sea and beautifully captures the intensity of a stormy ocean. It’s a testament to Pienaar’s ability to evoke emotions and tell stories through his art.
