No matter the medium, my work always seeks to ask or tell, frame or wonder, capturing moments that exist between observation and interpretation.

Francois works primarily on gessoed canvas boards or fine art paper such as Arches and Fabriano. His pieces form collections like Shrewdness of Apes: Fading Echoes, The Last Keeper, and The Overlooked, each rooted in a deep respect for the animal world and the quiet urgency of conservation. A self-taught artist, living in Langebaan Western cape he brings together technical precision with emotional storytelling — and has recently begun gaining recognition through conservation partnerships and international collector interest.
