Cynthia Kuun was born in 1957 in Pretoria. Her father was a school teacher , and recognized her talents at an early age. She still treasures the palette which he made her when she was at high school. She now lives in Mogale City, Gauteng, South Africa, with her husband, two boys and a daughter. She has been busy with painting since 1990.
The urge to paint surfaced during childhood and at primary school started selling pencil sketches to her classmates. It was only during the latter part of her life that she received formal training from a number of the best representational art teachers in South Africa which she continues to perfect as the years go by. With her enormous natural talent, self discipline love and devotion for her work, she mastered the skill. Her work is done in oil on stretched canvas. She paints whatever she feels like and sometimes also uses her artwork to give expression to her emotions. She also does special commissions and her artwork has already been sold to satisfied customers throughout South Africa.
A final word about her work is left to the artist herself :
“I believe that there is no simple recipe for a happy life. We expect something good to happen to us and as time pass us by, it often occurs that lack of pleasure in our daily routine is due essentially to our attitude towards it. Work undertaken with humour makes routine far easier to bear. I often can change my mood just by painting what I love. Be wide-awake to the small pleasures in life, a beautiful sunset, a bird in flight. Life is a precious gift. The quality and longevity are the result of the whole heartedness with which we live it. “
