In this striking and enigmatic work, Florah Maphosa explores the tension between vulnerability and power. The figure’s deep black surface absorbs light, creating a sculptural presence that feels both exposed and protected. Perched delicately on the head, the praying mantis becomes a symbol of vigilance, intuition, and quiet authority—an observer rather than an intruder. The vivid pink garment introduces softness and desire, contrasting with the figure’s commanding stillness. Maphosa invites the viewer to confront beauty that does not seek approval, but instead watches, waits, and endures.

Watcher of Silence - Harare

The Visionary reimagines the leopard as a sharp-minded strategist navigating the corporate world. Known for precision, adaptability, and solitary confidence, the leopard becomes a metaphor for ambition and calculated risk. The handwritten affirmations woven into the tie introduce vulnerability beneath polished authority, hinting at inner dialogue behind success. Magiga contrasts elegance and instinct, exposing how ambition, self-belief, and survival coexist in contemporary professional identity.

The Visionary  (1000 x 1500 px)

This powerful piece explores themes of vulnerability, strength, and the interplay between human and animal, as well as the influence of ancestral presence. A kneeling African woman, tenderly holding her breasts, is flanked by a roaring lion, its fierce gaze mirroring hers through a striking visual alignment of their eyes. Meanwhile, the subtle presence of an old man in the background adds a layer of depth, suggesting the weight of tradition and heritage. The painting invites the viewer to ponder the complex relationships between power, identity, and the natural world.

Series Title: The Silent Key Artist: Keith Zenda In The Silent Key, Keith Zenda explores themes of repression, identity, and feminine power. Chains, padlocks, and keys serve as stark symbols of societal limitations placed upon women. These painted figures stand strong, yet their silence echoes stories too often untold. Their gazes are unbroken, their presence undeniable. The women portrayed are not invisible-they represent all those who have been bound by tradition, law, or expectation. And yet, even in silence, beauty, dignity, and hope emerge. The key is present-silent, waiting-but who will use it? This series challenges us to listen, to unlock, and to reflect on the power of stories yet to be heard.

In the lush, green depths of the African jungle, a leopard basking in the warmth of the afternoon sun. His sleek, spotted body stretching languidly across a thick branch of an ancient tree, his green-golden eyes sparkling in contentment.

The sounds of the jungle surrounding him, a symphony of birdsong and rustling leaves, but he remains undisturbed, lost in the tranquility of his solitude. There is a serene grace to his presence, a quiet majesty that seems to emanate from every inch of his being......💝

Moment of Serenity

Wild Wisdom - The Feline Gaze of the Leopard

In the dense foliage of the African bush, the leopard lurks, stalking its prey with stealth and cunning. But for those who look into the piercing gaze of this apex predator, they are met with a wisdom that has been forged by a lifetime in the wild.
The leopard's eyes are windows into the heart of the savannah, reflecting both the beauty and brutality of life in the wild.
