My name is Danielle de Clerk, I was born in Johannesburg, South Africa in 1988 and I’m
currently living in Pretoria East. I am self-taught and very dedicated to my work. I’ve
had several solo and group exhibitions throughout Gauteng and also Paris and London.
I’ve been painting professionally since 2008 but I don’t see my artworks as
‘work’. At the end of the day, the satisfaction I find in creating them prevails.
In my artworks, I draw a comparison between Phosphenes (the experience of seeing light
without light actually entering the eye) and Imagination (the faculty of forming mental images
or concepts of what is not actually present to the senses.)
My true reason for painting is not only to express myself to the fullest extent, but to
broaden my audience’s imagination and have them form their own unique ideas about what
they see in my work, as one could form ideas and images out of the spots of light seen behind
closed eyes.
