Diane Webb
The style is figurative , not Abstract. Hard charcoal lines, sometimes black enamel paint give weight to the images. Every piece is unique, the reference from photographic images of Southern Africa and her people. Vibrant colors, as bold as the markets of Africa are used.

Photographer
Ayanda Ndamane
Full-time senior staff photographer and curator at the African News Agency (ANA). Armed only with a camera and lens without adequate PPE – you only have a mask and hand sanitsers, makes it even more difficult. But, you want to get the message across and also help disadvantaged people as much as you can. That is my job as a photographer covering Covid-19!
