Give them paint and a brush, and see what George Malaza and Onésimo Novele can produce.
These artists are very talented. Using crafts paints they can paint portraits, paint on paper, walls, boards and basically do any type of art work.
George (42) and Onésimo (28) met at Springvalley where they are currently neighbours. George started painting in 2009 while Onésimo only started last month taught by George.
“I am a creative person who has a creative mind. But above everything else I am also a fast learner. When I put my mind to something, I make it happen,” said Onésimo.
The painters draw inspiration from their day to day happenings.
In September 2009 George painted a red, black and white picture of Jesus on an A4 paper.
“This is my favourite piece of art as Jesus is the bearer of all things good, through Him we can succeed. Like now, in the work that we are doing, He will see us through,” said George.
Onésimo’s favourite painting is an elephant he drew on a board, he said he drew the animal because it is a peaceful specie and lives in harmony with other animals in the bushes.
George said he loves his job because he gets to be in his own world. He gets to put down his vision to paper and people get a chance to see it.
Onésimo adores his panting because when he sees the final product, it makes him very happy. Compliments and motivation from people keep him on his toes.
Their prices range from R450 to R1000 for now.
They both wish to see their work grow and reach the world, more especially schools.
They are encouraging school learners to use their talents and gifts to earn a living.
“We want to share our talent with the whole world and we are positive they will love it,” they concluded.
