Heidi Fourie is the kind of artist who sees art in just about everything we do. Cooking, researching, writing. Even raising kids. For her, life itself is art. It\u2019s no surprise that her vibrant, van Gogh-esque paintings are a reflection of how she sees the world.<\/p>\n

Heidi Fourie is all about experimentation. Even if it sometimes gets messy. She\u2019s convinced that everyone\u2019s artistic handwriting comes through in their – what she calls – spontaneous dynamic motions. Heidi, for one, finds joy in exploring the flow and movement of the world around her, which she then tries to capture in her work. And boy, does she!<\/p>\n

\u2018I\u2019ve always loved the liquidity of paint. The intermingling of different colours and how you can cover large areas with one sweeping motion, or vary brushstroke shapes by manoeuvring the brush. I tend to construct an image with form and shade variation rather than contours.\u2019<\/p>\n

Although she deviates from oil paint often, she usually finds herself going back to it. For her, the richness in colour and malleability is unmatched. But it\u2019s not only painting that brings her joy. Heidi also loves the seductive bleeds of ink. The soft lines of coloured pencils. The surprise element of printmaking. And the directness of photography.<\/p>\n

Growing up, she always felt that creative itch we all have as kids \u2026 that human urge to imagine new worlds and make something out of nothing. While most of us eventually get caught up in life\u2019s buzz which causes that creativity to fade, art stuck by Heidi\u2019s side like a loyal friend. Whether it was during school breaks or after classes, painting has always been a soothing outlet for her.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It also didn\u2019t hurt that creativity sort of runs in the family. Her mom\u2019s a cartographer (how cool!) and her dad, though in finance, just loves spending time in the garden. All these influences stirred something in Heidi, which is why she dove straight into Fine Arts after matric. Though not without the usual concerns about how she\u2019d make a living. The thing is, she didn\u2019t have a backup plan, so she knew she had to make it work one way or another.
\nAnd so, after graduating, she opened her own business, Heidi Fourie Art<\/a>. Brick by brick, she started with small and affordable pieces and worked her way up to the bold, larger works she\u2019s known for today.<\/p>\n

These days, she just loves the independence that comes with being a full-time artist. The best part? She gets to share her knowledge by occasionally working as a guest lecturer at the University of Pretoria. She enjoys getting students excited about new ideas and materials and helping them find their own artistic voice. When she doesn\u2019t have a paintbrush in hand, you\u2019ll most probably find her out exploring landscapes to build up her visual inventory. In fact, she tries to make a point of catching as many sunrises and sunsets as possible.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Heidi believes that no one artist can claim the gold medal. That everyone has their own unique expression, and that\u2019s the magic of it. That \u2018we\u2019re all somebody\u2019s favourite artist\u2019. For her, it\u2019s about capturing something universal, something that resonates deeply with the viewer.<\/p>\n

But that doesn\u2019t mean she doesn\u2019t pour her own heart and soul into every piece. Because sometimes, she might just give a tad too much. One of those pieces – and most challenging, both emotionally and physically – is called Both Worlds. \u2018I used bright, almost jarring colours and it deals with me intimidating or confronting myself. It has been an emotionally turbulent year where I experienced a whole spectrum of big emotions. Grieving a long relationship and some almost-relationships. There was learning to trust myself while travelling alone and making decisions, making and saying goodbye to dear new friends and lot of packing in and out. There were kind gestures from strangers and cataclysmic and sublime dreams. I also confronted snakes and precipices, unimaginable sunsets and got emotionally attached to an asparagus.\u2019<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It comes as no surprise that her biggest influences are the iconic Vincent van Gogh, (of course), along with her friend and mentor, Rina Stutzer and Diane Victor. Nature is also a big source of inspiration. Think mountains, landscapes, pretty skies, flowing water and everything in between.<\/p>\n

In fact, this year, she\u2019s been traveling all over the country and even taking a nature guide course to deepen her knowledge of the world\u2019s creatures and landscapes.
\nAs for the artist herself \u2026 well, she\u2019s known for her sense of humour and her deurmekaar nature. And she\u2019s thoughtfully impulsive (if that\u2019s a thing). She unwinds by hiking, solo road trips, and climbing, which help clear her mind. She\u2019s also a fan of studying and is trying to make a habit of writing.<\/p>\n

So, whether Heidi is climbing mountains, chasing sunsets, or splashing colour on canvas, it all comes down to capturing the beautiful chaos of life. And if there\u2019s one thing Heidi would want you to take away, it\u2019s this. Life is art, and every brushstroke counts. So, why not make yours as bold and colourful as possible?<\/p>\n

Ways to release your creative juices<\/strong>
\n\u2022 Become like a child. Try to embody your inner child, where you didn\u2019t worry about whether it will make sense, look good, sell and so on. Just find pure enjoyment in making things.
\n\u2022 Experiment. Test out new material, perhaps things you find in your immediate environment. Or sometimes a different brush or type of paper is the key.
\n\u2022 Be a sponge. Be curious about other artists\u2019 processes. Ask many questions, observe and reach out.
\n\u2022 Observe. Look at everything with a lens of art making. Always carry a camera and notebook. Paint so much that everything you look at starts to look like a painting and ideas will be everywhere
\n\u2022 Nerd out. Be passionate about other fields, disciplines and subjects. You can\u2019t just make art about art.
\n\u2022 Take care of your body. Sleep enough, exercise, eat healthy, drink water. All the best artists I know prioritise exercise.
\n\u2022 Write down your dreams. This is your wildest creative brain at work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
