Q: What are you currently working on?
A: I’m working on an extraordinary project: I’ve been asked to make a bronze sculpture
of a Khoisan man in a hunting pose with a traditional bow.

Q: How does this project differ from your previous works?
A: The San people are famous for their respectful ways of hunting. It’s an
honour to represent this in my art. I’m taking extra care to study and
understand their hunting practices to portray this figure accurately and
respectfully. This sculpture is not just a piece of art; its a tribute
to the hunting tradition of the San people.

I think my fans will look forward to this unique and
meaningful piece of art.

We look forward to seeing more of Bernie’s sculptures
that echo the spirit and rough beauty of Africa’s
wilderness – not just for today, but for generations to
come. In Bernie’s latest project that pays tribute to the
Khoisan, we are again reminded of how he strives to bring
stories to life through his works. They reflect the artist’s
deep appreciation for nature and indigenous cultures.
