Every face tells a story - whether that be fear, despair, love, hope, anxiety or dreams. I love the lines of the eyes and the way a person’s mouth changes along with their emotions. My aim is to capture these emotions and for the viewer to identify with the emotions I try and realise through my work. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAll my work reflects my own feelings and experiences. Fragility is a recurring theme in most of my finished pieces… Humans are so fragile but at the same time so strong. It’s about mental illness and the effects it have on us. I am married with two kids and I immigrated from South Africa 12 years ago. We recently settled in the beautiful Cambridge. I am a full time ceramic sculptor and work from my studio in the Whitehall area.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"Nature is not only all that is visible to the eye, it also includes the inner pictures of the soul. No longer shall I paint interiors with men reading and women knitting. I will paint living people who breathe and feel and suffer and love.\" - Edvard Munch.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFreight \u0026amp; Delivery\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you have any questions regarding shipping prices please contact us at -  info@oragallery.co.nz\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mariska de Jager","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46948249403591,"sku":"77205","price":595.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0259\/9128\/2754\/files\/1000085247.jpg?v=1785727949","url":"https:\/\/oragallery.co.nz\/products\/bird-lady-6","provider":"ORA Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
