'Making it as an Artist in Africa' Totems by Leon Radegonde The BBC Journalist Jason Dunford from the ' Smart Money ' show, recently visited the Seychelles with his film crew to find out what it takes to make it as an artist in the region. The documentary called 'Making it as an Artist in Africa' features three Seychellois Artists; Frances Chang Him, Isham Rath; Leon Radegonde and ANS Chairman Martin Kennedy!  Watch this short film of Jason interviewing the artists and get some wise words from Martin Kennedy - Some of the filming took place at the Eden Art Space Gallery so  the work of many other Seychellois artists also features heavily in the background  - so  If you see any artworks that you are interested in let us know  😉  Click to watch the 7min video  HERE :   Let us know what you think in the comments below.

FRANCES CHANG-HIM I would like the viewer to experience a sense of gratitude towards the amazing beauty of the environment that surrounds us Frances’ subject of choice is tropical islands, beach and forest scenes, she creates painstakingly accurate renditions of lush locations around the Seychelles Islands. My core concern is definitely the reflection of nature and the manner in which nature enriches humanity. FAIRYLAND 2004 Acrylic on paper 50x40cm Frances is also concerned with the protection of the Seychellois Heritage and often portrays cultural elements in her paintings; you will often find women in traditional Creole dress and  figures performing activities unique to the Seychelles way of life. I think we are losing a lot of our traditional activities because of our modern way of living. Thus I would like to keep them ‘alive’ through my paintings.
