Marieke Prinsloo-Rowe studied Fine Art at the University of Pretoria with a major in sculpture and is currently completing her Masters Degree at the University of the Witwatersrand. The multifaceted South African context has made a significant impact on her sculpture. There is ever the desire to communicate and be understood – to be relevant, hopeful and truthful. Marieke’s work continues to explore the human figure, considering way in which sculpture mimics the three dimensionality of a human presence and thus the powerful dialogue it invites. She has completed numerous private and public commissions and her work is represented in several public sites, private collections and galleries both nationally and abroad.
