Shadow Master

Cole Stirling | Charcoal | 23 x 16.5 inches

“Born and raised in Zimbabwe, my passion for the wilds of Africa started at an early age. Some of my earliest memories include waking up for early morning drives in Hwange National Park or sitting for hours at one of the numerous waterholes, to see what came to drink. I was in my element.

​Art came as a by-product of this love for nature and a way to express this passion. From childhood, I was sketching my favourite animals, trying to replicate pictures from the numerous field guides I had started to collect. At Rhodes University, Grahamstown, South Africa, this hobby was then honed, when I completed a Fine Art degree. I have always been drawn to the nostalgia of monochrome imagery, especially in photography, and feel that informed my approach to my artworks. Although being colour-blind, this also comes in quite handy! That said, the simplicity that this approach allows is something I have always found appealing and is a feature I strive for in my works.” – Cole
