Phil Potgieter is a Mandala Artist based in Walmer, Nelson Mandela Bay.
Phil Potgieter says:
It was about 5 years ago that I discovered Dot Art and Mandalas and have been totally immersed in it ever since.
Painting Dot Art Mandalas and other free form abstract paintings has helped me through a very dark time in my life, for which I will be eternally grateful. I began painting on rocks and pebbles and slowly graduated to painting on canvas board and then stretched canvas. I have also painted on PVC Charger plates, various shapes and sizes of MDF cut outs including the Africa Cut outs. I have also upcycled old Vinyl LP Records which I have made into the most beautiful and unique Clocks. My Signature Piece is a custom order that I painted on an 80 cm Diameter 6mm MDF round cut-out to which a clock mechanism was attached.
I am totally self taught and constantly continue to learn new tricks and techniques and I thoroughly enjoy teaching others this beautiful art form. Before the Covid 19 pandemic lockdown I have had the honour of teaching many others at workshops held at A peace Of Art studio Workshop here in Walmer. Hopefully these workshops will be available again in the not too distant future.
I am thrilled to report that my art has found its way to 9 countries at present and hopefully that number will continue to grow. In the meantime I am constantly exploring new avenues of expression and have recently embarked on a journey learning to make key-ring holders and pendants from scratch.
I look forward to the day that we can once again have our Craft Markets in the Bay and look forward to showing off all that I have produced over the last five months.
Please feel free to take a look at my work on my Facebook and Instagram pages.
