George loves his new environment and says most of his time is spent learning new techniques to make his artwork conceptual or unique.
He adds that the course is incredibly practical and hands-on, including touching on aspects such as how to run your own studio.
This is his ultimate dream – to have a studio and gallery in his hometown of Lephalale, Limpopo, to guide and inspire upcoming artists in the area.
George gets his inspiration from far and wide. He cites Leonardo da Vinci as one of his main inspirations and points to pop art – which depicts the visual world in a recognisable way – as another.
It is therefore no surprise to learn that vibrant and strong colours such as orange, red and the famous Elegant blue-and-yellow are his favourite colours and dominate much of his artistic output.
His favourite mediums are pencils and oil paint because he loves the freedom they give him to express himself. And when he has a quiet moment, he listens to Eminem to conjure up some new ideas he can put on an empty canvas.
