With this painting Simone Verfaille created an abstract painting that draws you in and makes you look again. Titled "An ode to the sun", the interplay between the broad, sweeping brushstrokes and the delicate linear details create a rhythmic flow filled with energy and emotion that expresses the title of the work well.

Simone Verfaille is one of the 2024 WORLDART10 winners.

Her present work is exhibits an exploration of abstract expressionism, characterised by fluid brush strokes and dynamic compositions.

“For me, it’s all about the process. The ‘process’ extends further than art making. Valuing the process means finding joy, fulfilment and meaning in the act of creating itself; embracing experimentation, exploration and learning, rather than fixating solely on the end result. Embracing the process means focusing on the journey of self-discovery, continuous improvement and resilience in the face of challenges.”

Title: Flowers for years
Medium: Mixed media on canvas
Size: 169cm x 204cm
Year:2024

Our next WORLDART10 winner is Karen Stewart!

This Cape Town-based artist explores themes of healing and sanctuary through her non-representational paintings, paper collages and clay sculptures.

Her style draws viewers into a meditative experience, highlighting the harmony and tension within abstract forms. This approach allows the shapes and colours to convey emotional depth, making her work visually striking and contemplative.

She has a M PHIL in Fine Arts from the University of Stellenbosch.
