Let us talk ART



My love for art started at the very young age, I grew up with it, and I have admired the creative mind and the hand. My grandfather was one of the art lovers who taught me the perfectionist of art and using hands to connect with fabrics, paintings and sculptures, he believed that the eye can’t see but the hand can make the eye see, well don’t ask me how that seem so possible but I as I grew up I realized it is true.

With his hands he created magnificent ornaments, he detailed them in such a way that it will inspire you, he knew how to capture an eye and trust me you would not forget if you see him at work with his hands, they moved so magically that you will fall in love with whatever he was creating.

So can you imagine how much i wanted to have his talent, how much I wanted to be like him when he speaks about art, he did it very well that when I’m alone I will sit at night and try to speak with his tone addressing my dolls. He knew the world of art like the palm of his hands, he could tell you historical stories about where art begin.  I share that love with my grandfather, we spoke the same language in silence, and I knew that one day I will touch and see the beauty of art and I would celebrate his legacy.

My late grandfather, Paul Bheki Ndlovu, inspires Glamourbliss and my vision is to uplift the world of art that we as the society have neglected and have forgotten about, I want to celebrate talents, creativity, and beauty of art. I would like to keep the spirit of Noria Muela Mabasa; Esther Mahlangu; Louis Maqhubela; Zwelethu Mthethwa; Maurice van Essche; Ashs Zero and Willie Bester alive and not forget the role they have played in the history of art all over the world.

May you continue to inspired and motivate each other by telling stories in a form of Art.
