Ester started to pursue her passion for art 26 years ago and established herself as a wildlife artist while working mainly with soft pastels. Her work is still well represented in galleries in South Africa and Namibia, where she was born and grew up. She was recently honoured to be selected for Drawing Guild’s first online wildlife exhibition. This year she was happy to be selected as a finalist in “Africa Wildlife Artist of the Year 2025” competition where art became a force for conservation.
Ester has also won several SCAVA awards in different categories throughout the years to showcase her versatility. The last few years she started to venture into experimenting more with other mediums and subjects like her big luminous flower paintings in oil.
This piece captures a field of lilies not as the usual still life, but as living rhythm—each flower swaying like a dancer in a grand symphony of nature. The lilies don’t simply grow—they move, pulsing in quiet unison with the wind. Their motion becomes visual music, each petal a soft note, each stem a phrase in a larger orchestration. Colour shifts across the canvas like crescendos and decrescendos: from pale lilac and cream to deeper mauves, soft blues and spring greens- each tone resonating with a note in a visual scale. This is the sacred pulse of life itself—gentle, cyclical, feminine, and free.
The field becomes a score, the wind the conductor, and the flowers the instruments playing in time with something deeper: the primal pulse beneath all things.
The sky above holds long, stretched musical notations and soundwave fragments—almost imperceptible—like atmospheric frequencies floating above the melody of the earth.
