Giffy Duminy - South African, Africa

2019 获奖人 | Artist | South African

In third world countries, people have other pressing priorities to worry about before thinking about conservation issues or their consumer impact on the environment. Painting positive murals in the public space gives good energy to the area. It creates a platform for all passers-by to appreciate and to connect with the surrounding nature on a personal level. I believe that appreciation is one of the most important building blocks for unity with the earth and inspiration for kindness we act on. Through pride comes unity. I plan to travel through Africa creating educational and inspiring conservation murals in public places in small towns and along main roads, which spark conversations about the importance of nature in our daily lives.

I am a nature lover and self-taught street artist from Kwa-Zulu Natal, South Africa. I started painting graffiti murals in high school and found a love for creating pleasant natural visuals to connect people with nature in public spaces. I have a BCOM Marketing Degree and I have painted hundreds of natural subjects and walls in South Africa and around Europe and Türkiye.
