Heart Oil on Canvas by Cornelie Wolff

Heart Oil on Canvas

Dimensions: 36 cm x 46 cm x 4 cm

Medium: Oil

This is not your average painting. “Heart” is a powerful and touching oil on canvas piece that captures a moment of pure, raw emotion. The artist’s use of oil on canvas brings a deep, rich texture to this expressive work. The heart glows with a vibrant, intense red, seeming to beat with a life of its own, while the hands cradle it with a tender and protective touch. The bold colours and subtle brushstrokes create a piece that is both warm and captivating.

Cornelie Wolff Approaching Art from a Different Angle

This Johannesburg-based artist started as a pharmacist.  After completing her Honours Degree in Psychology, she joined Helios to further her skills in Art Therapy.   During this time, she fell in love with art, the process and the emotional power it yields.

While raising her family, which consisted of three young children, she took part-time classes with Rika de Klerk and Willie Jacobs.  She also attended workshops led by Koos Bronkhorst, Niel Moss, Willie Jacobs, Rentia Coetzee, Ruth Walters, Elize Bezuidenhout, Douw van Heerden, Charla Maarschalk, and Jennifer McChristian.

Today, she practices what she preaches by creating her work under the motto: “With every painting I complete, I grow as a person and an artist.”

My art is created from a place of wonder – it is my dream for every human to never completely lose the child inside them, because it is our ability to see wonder and magic in things.  I use bold brushstrokes, contrast and an impressionistic approach to entice the viewer to create their own interpretation of the subject and become part of my world.
