About Danie Marais

Danie Marais was born in Pretoria, South Africa, in 1978 and grew up  in both Namibia and South Africa. He studied art at the Central University of Technology in Bloemfontein, got married  and have been residing in Langebaan on the West Coast of SouthAfrica since 2010. He was since blessed with two beautiful sons.

Danie loves art, and does it with passion as a full time artist. His work is on display at several galleries throughout South Africa, Namibia and the Netherlands, and he also gladly takes on any commission. On this website you may browse through several of his previous works, but none are for sale. These are all sold to either gallery or client, but serves as an indication of possible other commissions with different or similar effect and atmosphere.

He purely depends upon Christ in him for  indurance and inspiration.

His opinion on art agrees to a previous quote: “ When you buy something from an artist, you’re buying more than an object. You’re buying hundreds of hours of errors and experimentation. You’re buying years of frustration and moments of pure joy. You’re not buying just one thing, you’re buying a piece of a heart, a piece of a soul.. a small piece of someone else’s life.”
