Masterful paintings by self-taught artist Marike Kleynscheldt

posted in: featured art, Painting | 3
Marike Kleynscheldt is a young artist from Cape Town, South Africa who works in traditional mediums, creating acrylic paintings and pencil drawings, with a fresh, slightly irreverent, and beautiful aesthetic. I stumbled across her work as I was searching for images of onions and garlic (a personal interest of mine), and her work stopped me in my tracks. I was amazed to learn in a brief bio that she has no formal training and has only been painting since 2007. If you enjoy Marike's art as I do you can find more of her beautiful creations in Marike's Behance gallery or on her Facebook page. .

  1. Wow, I just accidentally stumbled across this, I never saw it! Thanks so much for the lovely comments and the share, it’s much appreciated! Much love <3

  2. Omg, thank you for finding her! I have used Marike to be my artist model for a project of mine in Art. Her detail is amazing. I am not good at detailing backgrounds so this can be my reason.
