Diane Erasmus - Sound over the Rocks (Seascape) - Verkocht

Prachtig schilderij van de Zuidafrikaanse kunstenares Diane Erasmus, uit de periode 2000-2010.

Diane Erasmus (Durban [South Africa], 7 March 1948) was educated in Port Elizabeth, Eastern Cape. In 1990 she began painting under the guidance of wellknown Natal artist Rob Wareing, with emphasis on painting from life. She was later strongly influenced by a personal friend, Titta Faschiotti, especially in capturing light and has subsequently developed a unique and sensitive style of her own.

Diane’s paintings are vibrant impressions. She enjoys painting from life and draws inspiration from nature, capturing the mystery and beauty of her surroundings. Diane Erasmus is well known and respected in South Africa for her Impressionistic expressionism style of painting.

Her work is exhibited in top galleries in South Africa and in the United Kingdom. Diane now lives in Ramsgate on the South Coast of Natal, with her two sons and Anton Benzon who is also a wellknown South African landscape artist.

She is based in Ramsgate on the South Coast of KwaZulu Natal and draws inspiration from the naturally beautiful landscapes and seascapes of the area, as well as from her intense interest in both nature and human nature. Diane's work appears in galleries around the country.

The beauty and grace of line and form, the essence and radiance of

colour and the fall of light, compositional balance and that

intangible spiritual quality that connects the artist to the viewer, these are the elements that define great visual art.

It is these elements that are most eloquently expressed in the work of Natal Artist Diane Erasmus.

Living in an environment that reflects the natural beauty embodied in her fine oil paintings, Diane has carved a niche in her genre of choice.

Decoratively appealing and emotionally satisfying, her paintings are much sort after both in South Africa and in other parts of the World.

She has sold works to people from the United Kingdom, America, Europe and Australia, All of whom have resonated with the Spiritual quality that shines through in her paintings.

They are rightly seen not only as an investment opportunity but just as importantly as fine works of art, possessed of great intrinsic value.
