Motshidisi follows aunt’s footsteps

Truly, his is a testament that talent runs deep in the family after he emulated his aunt who is also an artist. In an interview with Arts&Culture this week, Motshidisi revealed that he was grateful to his aunt who has helped him unleash the artist in him.

He echoed that as a boy when his aunt was busy with her artwork, he would be in great awe of what her aunt was doing and that led to him picking up his pencil and learning art. “My passion for art planted roots from a young age because I was always fascinated by one of my aunt’s drawing skills and I picked up a few things here and there from her between the ages of nine and 11,” he said.
