NOMSA MOTALE

ABSTRACT | Paint | Photographer | Free-spirited creative

My name is Nomsa Motale and I grew up in Johannesburg, in the lovely streets of Soweto.

Growing up I always knew I was different. My weirdness and creativity have always been something that I leaned onto and finding my artistic voice, helped me to gain some confidence in myself and not feel weird about being weird, lol. 

I enjoy being in places that connect me to nature. Whether it's next to a waterfall where I can hear sounds of water-streams, or sitting on green grass and being captivated by beautiful trees, plants and flowers. I do believe that nature helps us to connect to self.

It inspires most of my work and images. 

I would like to think of my work as art that represents feminine energy.

The softness and delicacy that I love to capture with nature images, especially flowers, represent the divine.

The lighting, details and contrast of colours in some images, represent creativity and flow.

These images represent me, they are an extension of who I am, they are an extension of my energy.

The beauty in flowing and letting go. Not thinking too hard about capturing the moment in nature, on the street or anywhere else, just allowing the art/image to be. To exist, to heal, to connect, to get lost in the nurturing essence of creating.
