About this artwork
In crafting this self-portrait, I channeled a fusion of introspection and boldness, symbolized by the vibrant red of my headwrap, contrasting with a tranquil blue. I have been studying how a number of ye olde painters did it for a long time before eventually trying it for myself. This is my first self-portrait (After 30 years of painting seriously).

« "As an adventurous sort, I believe that I can take on any creative project. If it does not come easily, then I strive to learn." »
As a painter, draftsman, designer and photographer, Shaun Herron’s need to create overrides expectation. The artist, who hails from Cape Town, but has resided for many years in Amsterdam, has received several awards for his pieces. Though he describes himself as a traditional artist who works in old-fashioned mediums, his art shows the diversity of his style and varies from esoteric, surrealist, impressionist and abstract. He finds freedom in abstract paintings, while also enjoying the meticulous attention to detail in his realistic depictions. Herron creates using oils and pencil.
