The self taught artist believes life without some form of art would be plain and dull.

For many years he taught himself how to paint, but he also looked up to local artists such Andrew Hlangwini (not related to him) who encouraged him to take his talent further by studying it.

His craft improved to a higher level after studying fine art from Funda Community College in Soweto for three years.

“After studying I developed a love for unique wire art and I can safely say that it is my first love now,” explained Hlangwini.

Although many who have seen some of his paintings would be shocked to learn that he tries his best to stay away from ‘normal art’ such us murals and portraits even though he does it for his clients.

His wire art is nothing most people have seen, he creates a form of painting using wires, without any paint or brushes. The wiring process takes a long time as more attention has to be given to every detail.

One project took him seven months to complete.

He is mostly looking forward to his Johannesburg exhibition in early 2019, the venue still to be confirmed.

For the past few weeks, he has been doing a mural project at a local Bed and Breakfast place where the HERALD team noticed his great work.

The theme of the project is hope and freedom and he features legendary names such as Nelson Mandela, Mahtma Ghandhi and F.W de Klerk.
