Kelly Fortuin is a South African artist and designer from Tafelsig, Mitchells Plain. Working across photography, collage, and digital manipulation, her practice explores memory, place, and belonging, transforming familiar landscapes into layered, vibrant, and unsettled reflections of home.
Fortuin’s work reinterprets ordinary suburban scenes, layering colour and texture to evoke the shifting nature of memory, identity, and community. Trained at Cedar Secondary High School of Arts, Spier Arts Academy (mosaic apprenticeship, Cum Laude, 2019), and the School of Explorative Architecture, she combines artistic and architectural approaches to explore urban landscapes, techno-pastoralism, and hybrid methodologies blending hand drawing with digital rendering.
