Khwezi Strydom's artist headshot

Khwezi Strydom (b. 1992) is a painter from Lyon, born to a South African father and a French mother from Tunis. His diverse heritage deeply influences his work, which explores the coexistence between globalized culture and traditional ethnic values. Raised in a family of artist, Khwezi was immersed in painting from a young age, with his mother's passion for art nurturing his creative spirit. His artistic journey began with drawing and painting, evolving into graffiti during his adolescence.

After initially pursuing a degree in astrophysics, Khwezi transitioned to become a craftsman glass blower at the Cristallerie Saint Louis, where he refined his skills over five years. However, his innate need to create led him back to painting, and in 2012, he dedicated himself fully to the art form. Khwezi now lives and works in Drôme, France, where he continues to develop his dynamic, colorful, and enthusiastic pieces.

Khwezi's work is a fusion of modern and traditional ethnic cultures, inspired by his travels to the United States and South Africa, and the diverse cultures he has inherited. His paintings often pose questions about the possibility of harmonious cohabitation between globalized culture and rich traditions of different territories, ethnic groups, and families. Through his art, Khwezi builds a world of respect, cultural richness, openness, and solidarity, characterized by hope and optimism.

His style incorporates a range of techniques, from engraving to aerosol painting, creating a visual language that captures the essence of his cultural fusion. Tribal and ancestral motifs play a significant role in his work, adding depth and meaning. Khwezi's art has been exhibited in Lyon, Tokyo, and other international venues, showcasing his unique approach to storytelling through visual art.
