This is the official website
of South African wildlife artist, Kobus Möller.
World-renowned artist, Kobus Möller
was born in Rhodesia in 1949. Being born into a naturally
artistic family, Kobus embarked on his career in 1990 and
uses his raw talent to express his love for nature and God
in the form of breathtaking works of art. His works are exhibited
at international art galleries in Europe and the United States.
In the 13 years as professional artist,
Kobus has been published in Swedish, American and South African
publications and his artwork has been vastly promoted in feature
articles published in over 40 international magazines. Of
these, fifteen of his works have appeared on cover pages.
Prestigious awards include obtaining first places in competitions
in both Reno and Atlanta.
Demonstrating his commitment to the
source of his inspiration, Kobus contributes paintings to
fundraiser auctions on an annual basis, where the proceeds
are generously donated to wild life conservation. The appreciation
and praise of his talent and that which it produces are dedicated
to the glory of God.
This is a compilation of some of his
finest works, and is now also available in a definitive calendar
collection as well as in colour prints and giclee's. Classified
as a true investment in art, Kobus' work is internationally
sought after for display in home, corporate and museum environments.
Kobus Möller's work witnesses
to the fact of a total commitment. He is enthralled by creation
as it is manifested in his beloved Africa. Immersing himself
into a total experience of the sights, sounds, smells, and
even the scratches and itches of thorns and insects, he is
passionately driven to have all his senses saturated with
the essence of Africa.
Inspired by the greatest ARTIST of
all time, the CREATOR of the universe, Kobus is in a constant
struggle to perfect the art of defining his awe of creation
by combining the synergy of his experiences in the bush with
the widest possible variety of use of his chosen media. Emphasizing
that each element involved carries equal weight in its own
right, he gently persuades the entire process into a unity,
thereby giving 'life' to the animals in his work. In creating
a relationship between tangibility and sight, his technique
combines light, line, texture and form on canvas. Every painting
uncompromisingly expresses his honest emotion and inherent
love for nature, and eventually for God who created it all
for our gratification.
Kobus entices the viewer's imagination
to discover nature as it is. In his own words he challenges
each of us: "May you pause to carefully observe the rock
on which you stubbed your toe, the thorns that scratched you
and the dry grass that caused your skin to itch. May you develop
an appreciation for the beauty of the simple things, and may
you re-discover the gift of sight."
