Hans Pretorius

Hans Pretorius, born in 1959, is an emerging South African artist whose evocative oil paintings have begun to make waves in the art world over the past four years. A self- taught painter, Hans has developed a distinctive style that captures the emotional essence of coastal life through a masterful blend of oil on canvas with cold wax, applied with a palette knife. This technique allows him to create rich, textured surfaces that bring depth and movement to his seascape scenes, inviting viewers into moments of quiet reflection and connection with nature.
