We believe that this painting belongs to her one of the best artworks. The subject of this painting was designed for her big exhibition in Los Angeles and San Francisco USA.
With technical virtuosity and a keen sense of line and colour she explored still life, landscape and portraiture, yet in the end, it was the human face and figure that fascinated her most. Her painting reflects a spirit of Romanticism while her pre-occupation with light infuses her style with shades of impressionism. Her canvases create a theatre for the dance of light where all kinds of objects become chunks of colour modelled by light

We have a question for certification of fine art
This our response
We only give invoices for any item sold by us on the Bidorbuy auction. We do not issue any certificate; similar to other established Fine Auction Houses in South Africa. In future, if you want to sell paintings through an established Fine Art Auction House, they would have their own specialists who establish the authenticity of the art and dont consider certificates from unknown and unqualified sources. We have seen number of paintings with different certification which we simply refuse to accept for sale. The reason being that they dont meet our view of artist presented to us. We believe that, to avoid making wrong choice in purchasing any artist art works, it is necessary to find more information in books or other sources, or visit a library. These sources give you a much clearer idea as to the appearances of the paintings any artist. You thus have to decide yourself. You definitely shouldnt believe that any certificate guarantees you the validity of everything it purports to - but that is your choice. We believe that proper certification of fine art is essential, and that it will validate the product over and above any other product and requires a totally different approach. The person responsible has to be highly qualified, with a minimum academic education and proof of any qualification(s). He should be recognized by the art world market, have lot of experience in this field (including in-depth knowledge of particular artists and their techniques, knowledge of the art of analysis and methods as well as their originality). He should also should be recognized by the leading Auction Houses on the market. The assessment of fine art is a time-consuming and expensive process, without even mentioning the fee of such an expert. For this reason, only the big Auction Houses can afford this practice and only when the painting is expensive thus worthwhile.
