... was born in 1983 in Richards Bay, Kwazulu Natal. After discovering her passion for art early, she moved to Johannesburg in 2003 to experiment with different art forms in the heart of creative South Africa. She finally decided that for her the best form of expression is in painting. With Conrad Bo as mentor, Ayanda joined the "Superblur Art Movement". Superblur has opened up a new path to creativity and has inspired her "to think outside the box", she says.

Ayanda's work is influenced by great artists such as Dubuffet, Picasso, Basquiat and Kasimir Malewitsch. She uses geometric shapes and primary colors in her pictures. The colors open up to her a world of magical, joyous feelings that quickens her mind to paint. She uses geometric forms in the background to "grasp the purity of the object". She also plays with the contrast between black and white. White gives texture and depth to the background, while black - following the idea of Superblur - seems to leave motifs of the image in the dark or adding an abstract note to the paintings. The use of the abstract barcode enhances the superblur identity of their paintings. The bar code shows, so Ayanda says, that every person is unique, but part of the system.

She herself says: "My work focuses on the human feeling of joy, and also on who we are as human beings. I am inspired by people in general as well as by their everyday life and their daily challenges; Especially how we are able to overcome hopeless situations, even if society sets us boundaries. I believe everything is subject to the power of choices we make every day. Our body and mind are free, so we can laugh about things. My pictures stand for the decisions we have to make every day; And again and again I express my joy through my work."

In fact, Ayanda's art is best described as colorful and joyful. It animates the viewer with good feelings and brings hope on days when the world is confronted with great uncertainty.

Among other things Ayanda was involved in the "Making a Warm Winter Happen" campaign initiated by Nedbank, which was to draw attention to the harsh winter conditions for the less privileged. In this context her art was exhibited at the "Annual Art Festival" in Grahamstown. In a TV report by the national television channel SABC, Ayanda was interviewed live on her art.

In the 26th edition of the "Joburg Style Magazine" in 2014, she was described as a highly promising young artist in the context of the article "Changing the World Through Art". Some of her works enrich the art collection of the magazine.

Ayandas first exhibition from 18 December 2015 to 16 January 2016 in the White River Gallery, White River, found great acclaim in the local art scene.
