Warren Voight

I am 39 years old - born in Worcester, Western Cape. From a very young age, about 5 years old, my parents discovered that I have a unique talent. I was drawing everything from cartoon characters to a scene of my father building his new shop in Worcester. It was no surprise to my farther as he is also very artistic.

With that in mind, my parents enrolled me in the Hugo Naude Art Centre, Worcester for after hour art classes when I was standard 3. By then I discovered that I developed a love for paint as well. In the late 90’s I also had art as a subject at Worcester Gymnasium High School. Throughout my school and College years I’ve won multiple art competitions as well as designing work for functions and campaigns.

Throughout my 20’s I’ve done many paintings from still life, landscapes, seascapes, famous landmarks to portraits and musicians. I then became a member of the South African Police Service in 2007. People always ask me what inspire me to do paintings, I just respond by saying “If it’s beautiful and I can’t take my eyes of it, it should be painted”. My work mostly consists out of Landscapes, Seascapes, Still-life, Animals, Portraits, Charcoal, and pencil sketches. I mostly use a mixture of acrylics and oils to paint but recently started with watercolours again.
