In this interview, I talk to Khulile "Seun" Ngobese, a talented young South African artist driven by passion, resilience, and a deep love for his craft. Known affectionately as "Seun," a name his grandmother gave him, Khulile is entirely self-taught, having developed his skills without any formal art education. From a young age, Seun started drawing and painting, honing his talent through self-practice and drawing inspiration from the world around him and mentors who encouraged his growth.

Seun discusses the importance of art in self-expression, particularly for young people in his community. He strongly believes that introducing art education in schools would provide children with a powerful outlet to express themselves, foster creativity, and help them find purpose. By giving children a chance to pursue art, Seun envisions a brighter future where they have positive ambitions, keep off the streets, and stay motivated to learn and grow.

In this interview, Seun shares his dreams of showcasing his artwork internationally and connecting with global audiences. He speaks passionately about his journey, his inspirations, and his vision for art as a tool for positive change. Watch to hear Seun’s inspiring story of resilience, ambition, and the transformative power of art, as he encourages future generations to pursue their own creative passions.
