Curious Cast

In this episode we embark on an artistic adventure with the one and only Craig Cameron-Mackintosh. Picture this: a young talent from the Lowveld landscapes of White River, South Africa, Craig's journey into the world of art was like a brushstroke of destiny. From doodles as a kid to mastering the art of oil painting, his story is a canvas filled with passion and creativity.
But it was his move to Cape Town that truly ignited his artistic flame. Studying filmmaking at AFDA not only added depth to his craft but also infused his paintings with a cinematic quality. Craig's ability to play with light and shadow leaves viewers spellbound.
And oh, did I mention his accolades? From winning the Sanlam Portrait Award in 2019 to artist residencies in Berlin and Lion Sands, Craig's journey is nothing short of extraordinary. This year he has already showcased his works at the Investec Cape Town Art Fair 2024 – and that’s just the start of what’s to come!
So, join along as we uncover Craig's world, where art meets heart, and every brushstroke tells a story.
