Odenton, MD
Contemporary figurative artist exploring identity and transformation through bold, expressive paintings rooted in emotional presence.
Message
Born in South Africa with a keen talent for art, Zahn du Plessis' roots run deep in her rich heritage, which is quite evident in her art. She began drawing and painting on everything while still in diapers, from newspapers, walls, to her family's car.
Despite leading a nomadic life and dwelling in five different continents, she found anchor in the United States.
In South Africa she dabbled with art as her hobby but ,10 years ago she became a professional artist in Germany. She moved to the U.S.A. two years ago and graduated recently at the Milan Art Institute.
With every stroke of her brush, she endeavors to capture the essence of human experience, weaving tales that resonate deeply with the souls of those who behold her work. She tells her stories with bold color in an expressive style, drawing inspiration from everywhere she has been.
She loves to push the boundaries with her art. There exists no greater thrill to Zahn than igniting the flames of inspiration within others, stirring emotions and connecting with her tribe!
"My hope is to leave a lasting imprint upon the hearts of all who encounter my art — a legacy of unapologetic creative expression, pushing boundaries, embracing all and being fearless!" - Zahn du Plessis
Statement
Art is my primary mode of self expression, allowing me to convey my deepest thoughts, emotions and experiences in a way that words cannot.
I seek to connect with others on a profound level, to inspire, and for my art to act as a daily remedy for life's blows, or at least reminder of the hope we have for what we expect to come.
Let us create our own world together!
