Artist profile: South Africa

Producer Bhuti Mopai, Editor Roberto Campos

 

Art is more than creativity—it’s a tool for mental resilience, self-expression, and empowerment. Meet Njabulo & Kosabo, two gifted pencil artists from Kinross, South Africa, proving that art can help uplift communities and transform lives.

Njabulo taught me to see purity in simple ways. That's what I try to capture in my art. A pencil is simple, but it creates much depth and emotion. 

Art keeps me mentally fit and allows me to channel my energy into something positive. I believe that art has the power to heal, not just individuals, but the whole world.”

- Kosabo (15 years old) from Kinross, South Africa
