Ruan Huisamen

South African 1991- 

Ruan Huisamen is largely self-taught, having never received any formal education or training in the traditional techniques of painting and drawing. After returning from a three-month apprenticeship under Louis Jansen van Vuuren, he began working as an artist. Most of his earlier works were created using graphite pencil, but he has since transitioned to charcoal-based works. In addition to having been nominated for the Absa L’ Atelier, Sasol New Signatures, SPI National Portrait, and Sanlam Vuleka awards, his works are also held in private collections in Spain, France, England, Canada, and the United States.
