Alpheus Ngoepe (b. 1995, Limpopo, South Africa) Belladonna, 2025 Oil Pastel on Canvas

Born in Limpopo in 1995 and now based in Johannesburg, Alpheus Ngoepe is a contemporary artist whose practice explores themes of self-reflection, identity, and humanity. His work translates the layered complexity of people, urban spaces, and the environment into abstract visual narratives, often beginning with photography as a foundation. Through expressive use of colour, form, and integrated text, Ngoepe transforms lived experiences into painted stories that resonate both personally and collectively.

Deeply committed to social change, Ngoepe also collaborates with philanthropic organisations, using his art as a tool to inspire and uplift disadvantaged communities. With Belladonna, he continues his vision of art as a catalyst for transformation — a dialogue between inner reflection and shared human experience.
