The work of the San artist Gerson Nanseb from Otjiwarongo is lead by his emotions. His "studio" is a very simple
and narrow hut, but the landscape surrounding him is wide. The cultur of his people, the San people, can be traced
back for thousands of years beyond our own. It were the ancestors of Gerson to create the rock paintings in Southern
Africa - and therefore they created unique cultural monuments. Gerson might be the first San to publish his art.
The original aquarell drawing has the size of 40 x 29 cm.
