Thato Tlatsi

South Africa

Tshegofatso Tlatsi (b. 1999) is a Johannesburg-born visual artist whose practice focuses on drawing and painting. Working primarily with ink, charcoal, chalk, and acrylic on raw canvas, she creates expressive works that explore the complexities of her lived experience as a Black woman.

Tlatsi’s practice engages with themes of chaos, death, sexuality, and mental health, examining the emotional and psychological dimensions of existence. Through her chosen materials and visual language, she gives form to personal experiences and confronts subjects that are often difficult, intimate, or uncomfortable. Her work creates space for reflection on identity, vulnerability, and the realities of navigating the world as a Black woman.

In 2022, Tlatsi obtained her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of Johannesburg. She currently resides in Roodepoort, South Africa, where she continues to develop her artistic practice and explore the intersections between personal experience, identity, and the human condition.
