In this painting, the Namibian artist Suzaan van der Ryst depicts a herd of zebras mixed with some water buffalo.
In the wilderness of Namibia these animals live side by side. In the event of danger, the herds often mingle with one another. Together the animals are strong.
Suzaan has shown this strength here. The meditative color purple symbolizes spirituality, intelligence and transformation.
Since I am mostly self-taught, I have come a long way and often had to test myself hard until I improved. I learn by experimenting, thinking outside the box and not trying to strive for perfection. I allow myself to make mistakes and I even welcome them in my work - that makes my pictures authentic.
My lively use of colors reflects my passionate personality. My favorite subjects are portraits and animal portraits. I have to feel a connection to the subject to be able to paint it with passion. I don't want to paint landscapes, cities or still lifes, I need lively, breathing subjects with personality so that I can also let my personality flow into the painting.
When I paint, I treat each painting differently. Sometimes I do a very light color wash over my sketch and let that shine through, sometimes I just keep painting and paint the right colors right on it. After getting the basics of the subject from a photo, I put the photo away and play with the colors until I feel like the painting is done. Some pictures take a long time, have many layers and others are taken alla prima (wet-on-wet technique). It all depends on how I feel and what my mood is. I work on feeling and not on a recipe or within the limits of artistic rules. When I start a painting I don't have a general plan of how to turn it out, I play and layer colors until I find a desired effect.
It is my wish to capture emotions and feelings and to influence the thoughts of the viewer with my work. My goal is to show beauty in the world around me and to bring out a little of my personality in every painting. My pictures should bring beauty, happiness and inspiration to those who look at them - that is my ultimate goal.
