SIMONE OLCKERS
Simone Olckers is an abstract expressionist artist working in acrylic and oil pastel. Inspired by nature, memory, and the nocturnal sublime, her work explores themes of resilience, quiet strength, and the effects of the past on the present.
Through layered textures, gestural mark-making, and atmospheric depth, she captures the messiness and enduring beauty of the natural world and its cycles of growth and renewal.
Simone paints from her home in Cape Town, South Africa.
