Lebo Matchaba is a South African-based mixed-media artist whose work explores self-discovery, existence, and the profound power of the inner self. Using a combination of charcoal, acrylic, and pastel, her art bridges different mediums to create bold yet minimalist pieces that reflect life’s dualities—reality and dreams, light and shadow, individuality and connection.

Her artistic journey began in high school, where she studied art theory and history, building a strong foundation for her creative expression. However, it was during a significant break from creating that her passion was reignited. This return to art brought a deeply intuitive and spiritual dimension to her practice, shaping her current approach.

For Lebo, color is more than just a visual element—it’s alive, an emotional experience, and a vibrant form of storytelling. Her work celebrates the beauty of simplicity, the courage it takes to embrace creativity, and the act of expressing oneself fully. Each piece she creates is a testament to existence and an invitation for viewers to reflect on their own journeys.

Through her art, Lebo seeks to remind us that creating is not just an act of expression—it is a celebration of being, a bold statement of presence, and a connection to something greater.
