Under the African sun in Kitwe, Zambia, Dirk van Wyk was born in 1953 from South African stock.

He experienced the bush, the wildlife, nature, experiences that would also reflect in his artwork. Back in civilian life, he took up sport parachuting, waterpolo, horseriding, and acted out his interest in the bush and particularly also his attraction to snakes.

Eventually in 1978, Dirk could turn to painting professionally; a dream came true. He passed through the beautiful town, George, the heart of the Garden Route and fell in love with the luscious scenery. In 1981 he moved to George, later wedded a local lady, and today is blessed with three daughters.

The tranquil surroundings perpetuate his inspiration to create his works of art. In his leisure time he paraglides along the beautiful coastline for sheer enjoyment and recuperation of the spirit.

This versatile artist has experienced his art in various mediums, including pencil, pastels, watercolor, charcoal, oil paint, resin and bronze. The demand for his oil paintings and his bronzes form the major part of his creative medium.

Dirks subject matter also varies considerably. These include still life, landscapes, seascapes, aircraft, trains, figure studies, birds and wildlife studies.

Dirk has had numerous one-man exhibitions and has participated in group exhibitions.

This sought after artist was commissioned by numerous companies and private collectors in South Africa and abroad. His work is presently presented in London, Brisbane, Fort Lauderdale and Norway.

Dirk’s positive outlook on life, recognizing its beauty, the peacefulness of his soul inspires creativity that is portrayed in the images, captured within that space the remedy and relish for the soul.
